B.C. company denies misleading First Nation about rail terminal expansion plans
The owner of a rail terminal in British Columbia’s Interior says a lawsuit launched by the Bonaparte First Nation is a “collateral attack” on the company’s “numerous” grants, permits, and licenses to operate the expanding facility.
The terminal services railway traffic on a 130-hectare property at the intersection of track networks owned by CP Rail and CN Rail, a “strategic” location that contains a tank farm, container storage, and other infrastructure,the response says. The First Nation’s claim says the site was home to a historical village dating back thousands of years, a place of spiritual and cultural significance with “numerous” burials.
Company representatives and the First Nation agreed on a reburial plan, and participated in a “unity horse ride” the following day, it says.
