Site C dam faces wide opposition in Peace River Valley
For over 30 years ranchers and First Nations have opposed the Site C dam.

BC Hydro and district officials touted a benefits agreement to mitigate impacts with funding for recreation, road work, and job opportunities, while First Nations pressed for treaty rights protection.
