“I’m very concerned that the PCC has decided not to conduct any consultation for these new bylaws.”

As the government reworks its Wascana Park bylaws after the previous ones were ruled unconstitutional, the NDP Opposition is concerned by what it alleges is a lack of Indigenous consultation.

On Monday NDP MLAs Betty Nippi-Albright and Nicole Sarauer stood on the park site where Indigenous protest camps were erected in recent years and expressed concerns that a review of the bylaws did not include any consultation from Indigenous groups or people.

Nippi-Albright, First Nations and Métis Relations, Truth and Reconciliation, said the Provincial Capital Commission (PCC) is due to release its new bylaws on Thursday, after Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Graeme Mitchell last year declared the previous bylaws to be unconstitutional.
