IMPORTANT NEWS – On February 1st to 4th, 2010, the West Moberly First Nations appeared before the BC Supreme Court, seeking judicial review to quash or suspend two exploratory mining permits and one forestry licence issued to First Coal Corporation for a tract of land in West Moberly's preferred Treaty territory which is critical habitat for threatened woodland caribou. West Moberly's petition raises important issues about the content of the Treaty right to hunt and the level of consultation required for mining activities. The court reserved judgment, and a decision is expected within the next three months. For more information, see our West Moberly First Nations webpage under the litigation link.
