British Columbia’s highest court has ruled against the Peace Valley Landowner Association in its continuing fight against BC Hydro’s Site C hydroelectric project in northeastern B.C. The Association hoped to overturn a lower court order that rejected a judicial review of Site C’s environmental assessment certificate. In a unanimous ruling, the B.C. Court of Appeal says the ministries of environment and forestry can issue a certificate for the mega project without considering all 50 recommendations contained in an environmental assessment report.
