B.C. First Nations plan to appeal ruling to restore natural river flows 70 years later

B.C. First Nations plan to appeal ruling to restore natural river flows 70 years later

Two First Nations say they will appeal parts of a British Columbia Supreme Court ruling released last month that rejected their bid for an injunction to restore the natural flows of the Nechako River.

Two First Nations say they will appeal parts of a British Columbia Supreme Court ruling released last month that rejected their bid for an injunction to restore the natural flows of the Nechako River.

The river in central B.C. has been diverted for 70 years to generate hydroelectricity for mining giant Rio Tinto's aluminum division and the province's power grid.

The Saik'uz and Stellat'en First Nations announced Thursday they plan to bring a “limited appeal” of the Jan. 7 ruling, asking the higher court to order the restoration of flows for the Nechako that would re-establish “the natural functions of the river.”

They say in a joint statement that flows should support the river's fish populations, including sockeye salmon and endangered Nechako white sturgeon.

Justice Nigel Kent found Rio Tinto Alcan has complied with the terms of its water license and contracts with the Crown, which approved the river's diversion for the Kenney dam in the 1950s, and if the company abides by those agreements, it doesn't have to change how it manages the river.

Kent's ruling also said the dam has “caused or contributed to a substantial decline” in local sturgeon and salmon populations, and the B.C. and federal governments have an obligation to protect the First Nations' right to fish.

He said his finding in the decade-long case “may trigger an obligation on the part of the Crown to reassess their conduct.”
