Regional District Urges Pause on Site C Permits
The Peace River Regional District asks British Columbia to delay Site C dam construction until legal challenges wrap up. Directors debated, with Area B Director Karen Goodings leading the motion amid disputes over due process and provincial decisions. Provinces issued 24 permits July 7 under multiple Acts for an $8.8 billion project flooding 5500 hectares on the Peace River. Treaty 8 Nations and other groups contest the project in courts. Saulteau First Nations approved an Impact Benefits Agreement with BC Hydro.
