The Siksika First Nation has launched a new lawsuit against the provincial government over it’s plans to build a new dam and expand the Ghost Reservoir, impacting treaty rights on the Bow River.
According to the nation, the government failed to discuss all the proposed options with them and ignored their concerns. Siksika is now asking the Alberta Court of King’s Bench to set aside the province’s decision to proceed with the plan, calling it “unconstitutional and unreasonable.”
The band said it was included in the talks about water management, but when feasibility studies on other options were underway, they were told their input wouldn’t be needed.
