Site C dam renamed after John Horgan | Supreme Court of Canada and DRIPA
from BC Today
The B.C. government announced the Site C dam, the hydroelectric generating station on the Peace River in northeastern B.C., will be renamed to the John Horgan Dam, in honour of the province's former late premier. The Supreme Court of Canada has decided to hear a court challenge from the B.C. government appealing a landmark decision on mineral rights and the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act. To discuss what this appeal will mean for B.C. laws and its reconciliation efforts, we were joined by West Coast Environmental Law's Jessica Clogg, a member of the Gitxaala Nation’s legal team, and Terry Teegee, the regional chief of the B.C. Assembly of First Nations.
