Two aboriginal bands are taking Alberta’s energy regulator to court for being denied the right to speak at hearings into an oil sands development near their traditional lands.
The Beaver Lake Cree Nation and the Whitefish Lake First Nation were not allowed to address hearings into Canadian Natural Resources Ltd.’s Kirby expansion project.
The bands say the project is to be developed in the same area where they hunt and fish and will contribute to the demise of caribou in the region.
