Halfway River First Nation says the provincial government has failed to consult with them over a forest tenure range located at the Crystal Springs Ranch.
Halfway River First Nation has filed a B.C. Supreme Court petition to protect their treaty rights, following a provincial licence renewal for a forest tenure range located ten kilometres west of their reserve.
The province disregarded Halfway River’s treaty rights by renewing the Crystal Springs licence “without incorporating reasonable mitigation measures identified by Halfway River”, the petition says. Cattle displace moose, elk, and caribou populations, wrote Halfway River First Nation, due to cattle defecating on mineral licks typically used by the wild animals, preventing access to critical nutrition.
