BC First Nation officials see Jumbo Glacier ski resort ruling as failing of top court – The Globe and Mail
Hours after the Supreme Court of Canada ruled against the Ktunaxa Nation Council, the backdrop behind Kathryn Teneese as she spoke with reporters declared the Jumbo Glacier Resort as “a Jumbo mistake.”
And although the Supreme Court ruled the ski resort could be built on land sacred to the Ktunaxa, Ms. Teneese, the council’s chair, vowed to do what she could to protect it.
“That’s the task that was given to us by the creator and no one else can take that away from us,” she said on Thursday. “We will move forward, trying to determine what our next steps will be.”
