CJDC TV Dawson Creek

--.nn nm ACommlsaioftef feftaklfig11.00 pm Hffldavlte for British Coiumbtt

Anchor: Jeremy Keefe

Reporter: Faiza Amin

"Ken Boon" President, Peace ValleyLandowners Association

KEEFE: As wedraw closer toa decision on BO Hydro's proposed Site 0 project, groups are stillpetitioning the government to reject the dam. And with time winding down, one organization Is takingdrastic action against the Province. CJDC's Faiza Amin has thedetails.

AMIN: The Peace Valley Landowners Association say they aretaking legal action against theProvincial government. The group decided to take action after the government granted EC Hydro s SiteCan environmental assessment just a few weeks ago. The Association's President Ken Boon saidearlier this week that a petition for a judicial review was filed with the Supreme Court of BC toremove thatassessment.

BOON: And this Is basedon thefact thattheJoint Review Panel wastasked with reviewing theproject, and they had their terms of reference and their mandate on what they had to examine.

AMIN: The petition was served to the Ministers of Environment and of Forests Lands and NaturalResource Operations. The Association feels that the govemment disregarded the Review Panel'srecommendations on how to proceed withthe project

BOON: The certificate Is invalid. Sothey can't - we - we feel itIs impossible for them now, incabinet, to make a decision to go ahead with the project because they would bebasing it on aninvalidcertificate.

AMIN: They also say there wasn't much consideration for those who love in the area, and wouldtherefore be Impacted by the project.

BOON: We are ail going to be impacted by Site 0 if the rates haven't been examined properly,and all our rates are going to go up because of this, which we feel strongly will be the case. So all BritishColumbians will beimpacted by, y'know, this project because the economics haven't been looked atproperly.

AMIN: After BC Hydro was granted the environmental assessment, the Province's Energy andMines Minister Bill Bennett saidhe had notmade a decision onthe project yet, andtheAssociationwasn't going towait for the Minister to make a decision before filing the legal documents.

BOON: If they decide to work on the project asa result of that decision, we would look atfurtheraction to get an injunction. We would assume that the govemment - y'know, because this Is such aserious case, that they would not start work.

AMIN: And although the govemment has yet to give Site Ca final approval, the group says BCHydro isexpected tostart construction in January of2015.

BOON: Whatwe hope, ofcourse, is that the government will decide that this project is not inthebest interestsof BC, and decidenottogo ahead with SiteC, and decideto move forward, and not[inaud]Site C on the back burner.

AMIN: The Association says theywill also launch a second petition for judicial review nextweek-this time asking the federal courts toappeal thefederal Minister ofEnvironment's decision approving theproject Faiza Amin, CJDCTVNews, FortSt. John.

Ken Boon, president ofthe PeaceValley Landowners Association, says he andothers could lose everything ifthe project goes ahead.

"We farm and we run a camp ground and we run a log home business and itwillall be flooded out by the dam."

He says he's optimistic.

"There are six legal challenges with the potential for six appeals. What are theodds that the government is going to win them all?"

Boon says with construction scheduled to start as early as this summer, It islikely they will be back in court seeking an injunction before the decision ontoday's case comes down.

Power from Site Cdam 'dramatically' more costlythanthought: expert

Justine Hunter

VICTORIA — The Globe and Mail

Published Tuesday, May26,2015 8:00AM EOTLast updatedWednesday, May 27,2015 4;53PM EDT

Just weeks before EC Hydro plans tobegin construction ofthe$8.8-biUion Site Cproject, a newreport says the Crown corporation has dramatically understated the cost ofproducing powerfrom the hydroelectric dam.

The Peace Valley Landowners Association (PVLA), which isopposed tothe projectbecause ofthe flooding from creating an83-kilometre reservoir on the Peace River, commissioned aleading U.S. energy economist, Robert McCuUough, to look atthe business case for what will bethe province's mostexpensive public infrastructure project.

The B.C. government approved the project last December, saying it isthemost cost-effectiveoption tomeet the province's future electricity needs. But the province has steadfastly rejectedcalls for an independent review ofthecost estimates for Site C, sa3dng thecosts have beenrigorously scrutinized and verified by independent contractors, the Mimstiy ofFinance and anoutside accounting firm.

Mr. McCullough, inhis report, said it appears the Crown corporation BC Hydro had itsthumbsonthescale to make itsmega project look better thantheprivate-sector alternatives.

"Using industry standard assumptions. Site Cismore than three times as costly asthe leastexpensive option," Mr. McCullough concluded. "While the cost and choice ofoptions deservefurther analysis, thesimple conclusion isthatSite Cismore expensive —dramatically so—thanthe renewable [and] natural gas portfolios elsewhere in theU.S. andCanada."

The report challenges a number ofassumptions that led the government toconclude thatSite Cisthe cheapest option. Mr. McCullough noted that the province adopted accounting changes lastfall that reduced thecost ofpower generated by Site C. He said those changes are illusory andthecosts will eventuallyhave tobepaid either byHydro ratepayers, orprovincial taxpayers.

Mr. McCuUough, aleading expert on power utilities inthe Pacific Northwest, also disputes therate that BC Hydro used tocompare the long-term borrowing cost ofcapital for Site Cagainst

other projects, noting that other major utilities in North America use higher rates for suchprojects because they are considered risl<y investments. The so-called discount rate is critical tothe overall cost projections, and he said tihe paper trail on how the Crown arrived atits figure"canonly be described as sketchy andinadequate."

The report, obtainedbyThe Globe and Mail, will be released on Tuesday by the FVLA.

The group will call on Premier Christy Clark to delay construction to allow time for areview byAuditor-General Carol Bellringer.

Ken Boon, president of the association, said the government needs to put the project on holdbecause it hasapproved theproject based onpoor advice.

"I find itfnastrating," he said inan interview. "How come itis left to us to do the due diligencethat the government shouldbe doing?"

The Site Cproject is facing aseries ofcourt challenges by the FVLA and local First Nationsorganizations. Mr. Boon said bis group intends to seek an injunction to delay construction ifthePremierwill not agree to put the project onhold.

Independent power producers have argued they can meet B.C.'s growing need for electricity at acompetitive cost, but they say the province tilted the playing field last M when itchanged theway itcollects dividends fi*om BC Hydro and reduced water-rental charges for the Crowncorporation. As aresult ofthose accounting changes, the cost per megawatt hour ofSite Celectricity decreased by one-third, firom $83 amegawatthour down to somewhere between $58and $61 amegawatt hour. BC Hydro says itwould cost $96 amegawatt hour for alternativeenergy.

The government has exempted the project from aregulatory review by the B.C. UtilitiesCommission. However theenvironmental review panel thatstudied Site Csaid anindependentreview on BC Hydro's cost estimates, energy demand forecasts and conservation plan shouldbeconducted beforeallowing the project to move forward.

Apair oflocal area First Nations is pushing forwardwhat it sees as the upside of a Provincial Courtdecision not to force B-C Hydro to stop some of theSite-C dam construction work.

The West Moberly and Prophet RiverChiefs arguebecause they asked the court for protection, the utilitywill not destroyold-growth forest or remove eaglesnests in recognition of the unique ecologicalsignificance of the Peace River Valley.

However, Hydro was the clear winner in this ruling,announced at the end of last week, along with anotherone in which a Federal Court Judge dismissed theapplication of the PeaceValley LandownersAssociation for a judicial reviewof the project,

Site C work camp construction upsets locai residentsAbout9,000 cubic metresof trees have been logged so far to make roomfor the work camp.

By Daybreak North, CBC News Posted: Oct 15,2015 6:25 PM PT Last Updated: Oct 16,2015 11:14 AMPT

Construction on a work cannp for theSite Cdam started about two months ago but that isn t stoppingsome local residents from taking a stand againstthe controversial $9 billion project.

• Work begins on massive work camp for Site C dam• Site C construction project for $9-billion dam approved bv B.C. government

Esther Pederson lives with herfamily on the banks ofthePeace River, across from theconstruction site.

She and herhusband, Paul Pederson have a clear view ofthe construction sitefrom the edgeoftheirfarm. Pederson says she cannot open her windows at night anymore because of the noise.

"BC Hydro works atnight aswell and they usually fire up their machines, it seems around 1:30, and theywork around the clock."

Pederson says the noisecomes mostly from the tree mulchers.

About 9,000 cubic metres oftrees have beenlogged so far. according to BC Hydro. That'sapproximately 300 logging truck-loads of lumber.

Pederson cansee the clearing from her property, which borders the Peace River. That's where TwoRivers Lodging Group, an ATCO subsidiary, is building a worker camp that will eventually house up to2,200 people.

Construction iswell underway, with 160 workers onsite, installing utilities, bringing in trailers, andbuilding a temporary bridge across the Peace River.

BC Hydro says it will also install security gates, fences, and guard buildings around the construction site.

But Pederson andotherlocal residents are not giving upon hope theSiteC project can be stopped.

"That's what they say, but we're hoping not," said Pederson of the seven years ofconstruction to come.

"We're hoping to stop that thing."

Opponents of the project have set up a camp at the site of the Rocky Mountain Fort a provisioning post andthe earliest European settlement in mainland B.C

While BC Hydro has said it will remove any significant artifacts from the fort the site itself is set to disappearbeneath the dam's 83-kilometre reservoir.

Rocky Mountain Fort was lost to history until the mid-70s. according to Arthur Hadland. who as a regionaldistrict director sought to have the site recognized for its historical significance

"i tried the province—that was a waste of time." he said "They would not touch it. they just blew itoff."

The company had expanded its trapping operations into what Is now Northern A.iberta. and needed meat tc

provision its crews Early archaeologists discovered "tens of thousands" of splintered animal bones on the

Rocky Mountain Fort site suggesting i! was used for grease rendering

Local First Nations hunters supplied much of the game making Rocky Miouniain Fort one of the first sites of

sustained contact between European explorers and Indigenous people in the Peace

One such hunter, vwrking freelance drought ina lotai of 14 848 pounds of fresh meat to the fort according tothe joumai of a North West Company officer.

"It's the whole significance of that site being sc symbolic foi v/hites and First Nations." said dam opponent KenBoon, of the decision to Stan a protest camp there alongside Treaty 6 memoers The fact is thai its been

ignored by our provincial government and our federal government in the past'

Few knew about the fort until 1976, when Dr. Knut Fladmark, an archaeologist with Simon Fraser University-ediscovered it after reading a description of the site in DavidThompson's journal.

Fiadmark discovered "trade beads, lead ball, shot, lead sprue and small fragments of brass sheet metal"litteredabout the site, as well as the remains of three stone chimneys, a steel button, a knife blade and thebowl of a "Micmac"-style pipe.

"This site is remarkably well-preserved and completely unaffected so far by modern distuit)ances," Fladmark

wrote in 1985

The 2014 report of the Site C joint review panel noted Rocky Mountain Fort would be inundated should the

dam be built, despite Hydro's plan to mitigate the loss through "relocation, systematic data recovery, capping,monitoring and compensation in-kind (replication),"

While sections of the south bank downstream of the Wloberly River have been logged, the site of the fort

remains untouched. However, the area is slated for clearing, which will take place through the first three

months of 2016.

At some point, boat traffic will be restricted, making site access an issue, Boon said.

Site C spokesperson Dave Conway said Hydro is aware of the encampment, but noted it is "not presentlyinterfering with our on-site construction activities" in an email.

As of Monday, it was not known how many people were livingat the camp.

Boon said it remains to be seen whether there will be a confrontation over the site.

"I guess we'll see," he said. "(Hydro) keeps saying they'regoing to put (construction) buoys in, and I see theysay that initially, boats will be able to pass through that area. So Iguess we'll see what they decree."

Members ofasmall butdefiant group arepledging tokeep protesting theSite Chydroelectric projectin northeastern BritishColumbia, despitebeing ordered off the land.

They set up acamp on Dec. 31, when EC Hydro and PowerAuthority issued an eviction notice whilepressing ahead with landclearing forthecontroversial $9-hillion dam.

The crown corporation gave protesters 24 hours to leave thearea known asRocky Mountain Fort,on the southbank ofthe Peace River, just afew kilometres southofFort St.John.

It warned that BC Hydro personnel will remove all contents ofthecamp anddehver it to ROMP butsuch action had not been taken by Monday afternoon.

Verena Hofmann, a Peace River Valley resident who was at theencampment over theweekend, saidcontractors appear ready tobegin logging athree-kilometre region that isFirst Nations territory.

"We'vejustheard that equipment has started up. It looks like they are intending to keep on cutting,"she said on the phone from Fort St. John. "Treaty 8 First Nation people are holding their ground andarenot moving from thesite, sothings areintensifying andchanging quickly."

Local people are trying to protect the land —significant because itcontains swatlis of old-growthboreal forest - until court proceedings runtheir full course, Ms. Hofmann said.

She said the group has asked that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reassess the environmentalapproval granted for the project by the former Conservative government, in conjunction with theB.C. government.

The Rocky Mountain Fort was established in1794 by the North West Company as afur trading postand is the site of the earliest settler post in mainland B.C.

The damwill be the thirdon the Peace River, creatingan 83-kilometre-long reservoir that'sslatedtopower up to 450,000 homes a year.

Anchor: Ashley WIebe

"Ken Boon" Peace Valley Landowners Association

WIEBE: A battle is just beginning near the Site C Dam. Protestors have vowed to defeat [sic -means defy] an eviction notice issued by 80 Hydro back on December 31^. The eviction covers the areaknown as Rocky Mountain Fort on the south bank of the Peace River, upstreamfrom the moutti of theMoberley River. The notice gave protestors twenty-four hours to leave the area, which is due to belogged as the Crown utility clears land for the massive new dam across the Peace River near Fort St.John. Work crews began moving into the area this morning and were met by protestors. Ken Boon Iscontinuing to fight against Site 0, and says he and others will continue holding downthe fort.

BOON: We are used to their bully tactics, and y'know there is just too much at stake here toworry about that. I guess there is a line drawn in the sand now, and now it is a whole totally differentgame. I think if the general public could see what kind of destruction they are doing down here - andthen Christy Clark calls this clean energy: that is a mockery.

WIEBE: BC Hydro could not immediately be reached for contact [sic - means comment]. RockyMountain Fort will be destroyed by the dam, butdemonstrators say they won't budge because it is the siteof the earliest settlers' post in mainland BC, and was established in 1794 by the NorthwestCompany as afur trading post.

First Nations land occupation alms to stop Site C

Treaty 8 members say $9 billion mega dam being built without First Nations' consent

By Betsy Trumpener, CBC News Posted: Jan 05, 2016 6:54 PM PT Last Updated: Jan 05, 2016 9:25PM PT

A small number of Indigenous protesters are trying to halt Site C by occupying land near the mega damconstruction site. Construction on the $9 billion dollar dam project has been undenway for four monthsnear Fort St John.

"Wehave a peaceful protest camp," Yvonne Tupper, a Saulteau First Nation woman from Chetwynd,told CBC News.

"Site C is infringing our treaty rights. No Treaty 8 First Nation has ever given consent priortoconstruction. And it's an insult and an assault to continue construction while there are pending courtcases."

• Full coverage: Site C dam

Tuppersays local Treaty 8 First Nations set up the protest camp in late December, with helpfrom localranchers and supporters, on traditional lands at Old Fort camp, on the south bank of the Peace Rivernear the confluence with the Moberly River.

The bush camp is a half hour hike from a newly-built temporary Site C bridge. Protesters say the camphas neither cell service nor road access. Tupper says she hikes in from a rough back road. She saysprotesters are keeping warminthe bitter coldwith wood fires, while sleeping intents, lean-tos, and ahand-built trailer.

'We're not carryingweapons or anything; we're having a peaceful protest to identify our lands and postthat this is Treaty 8 territory and you're trespassing," said Tupper.

in a video exchange dated January 2 and posted on social media, Tupper, dressed in a toque andsnowsuit and another protester speak on a snowy bridge with a man who identifies himself as aconstruction site security guard. The man tells them they have to leave "the active work site." Thewomen notify him he is "trespassing" on Treaty 8 land.

^ North District RCMP Corporal Dave Tyreman says police have not been contacted. Tyreman respondedto an inquiry from CBC Newsby advising, "You would have to inquire with BC Hydro as they have theirown security."

Hydro in discussion with protesters

BC Hydro says it is working to resolve First Nations concerns.

"BC Hydro respects the right of all individuals to peacefully protest and express their opinions about Sitei-t C in a safe and lawful manner," said BC Hydro spokesman Dave Conway.

"We are hopeful this can be resolved. We are indiscussions with the protestors and local authorities toallow us to resume construction activities. BC Hydro is evaluating all options and will continue to monitor

030

the situation."

TheSite C dam project will flood a valley 77 kilometres long. It's long been controversial in theregion and is fiercely opposed in some quarters. Until now, non-indiaenous ranchers wereat theforefront of anti-Site C activism.

The B.C. government says consultations with the local Treaty 8 First Nation began in August 2014 butwouldn't say ifthe two sides had reached a resolution.

Several lawsuits by environmental groups, citizens and First Nations to try to stopconstruction ofthedamare proceeding through the courts, butthe court cases haven'tstopped the building process.

Construction of the almost $9-billion project is touted to generate about 10,000 jobs while itfloods 55square kilometres of river valley between Fort St John and Hudson's Hope.

Proponents say SiteC will boost Hydro's energy supply by eight percent, enough electricity to powerabout 450,000 homes per year.

Site C dam protesters dig in and prepare for arrests athistoric site in B.C.

BY KEVEN DREWS, THE CANADIAN PRESS jANuARV 7, 20'i6

Helen Knott, shown inthis undated handout photo, a memberof the northeastern British Columbia's Prophet River First Nation, isamong those protesting the construction ofthe$9-b!llion Site C hydroelectric project. Aprotest camp has been set up at RockyMountain Fort, the former site ofa North West Company fur-trading post established in1794on the west side of the Moberly River,near Fort St. John. Protesters say they are willing to be arrested. THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO-Heien Knott

First Nations protesting the construction of the $9-biilion Site C dam in northeastern British Columbiaare preparing for their own arrests while they implore Prime Minister Justin Trudeau intervene to stop

the hydroelectric project.

Helen Knott of the Prophet River First Nation said in an interview from the protest site that she and

six other demonstrators are camped at Rocky Mountain Fort, the former site of a North WestCompany fur-trading post established in 1794. near Fort St. John.

RCMP said they arrested three protesters on Wednesday who had been blocking an access roadneeded by BC Hydro crews to begin work on the dam. the third on the Peace River. The dam willcreate an 83-kilometre-long reservoir and flood the area where the protesters are camping,

08/01/2016 Site Cdam protesters dig in and prepare for arrests at historic site in B.C. 036

BC Hydro and Power Authority have issued an eviction notice, warning protesters that all contents of

rm the camp set up on Dec. 31 will be removed and delivered to the RCMP.

#Knott said the protesters are hunkering down while weathering snow and temperatures as low as -20C, awaiting the possibility of arrest.

"It's not necessarily anybody goes into it with that idea, like, yeah, we're going to be arrested, right?

It's that, yeah, we're committed to saving this tract of land and to, you know, actively use our treaty

rights here," she said.

Knott said she would rather not be arrested but is willing to be at the camp and take a stand on the

issue.

Site C spokesman David Conway said the protest is affecting a small clearing area but all other

construction work on the project continues. Contractors had been prepared to log the area where1*1

protesters are camped.

„ The utility hopes to resolve the situation through ongoing discussions with protesters and localauthorities in order to resume construction, he said.

"80 Hydro respects the right of all individuals to peacefully protest and express their opinions about

Site C in a safe and lawful manner," he said in an email. "Our immediate concern is to ensure the

safety of both Site C workers and the protesters."

Several First Nations and local residents have filed legal challenges over the dam, raising concerns

^ about flooding and the impact the lake will create.

Art Napoleon of the Saulteau First Nation said in a phone interview from Victoria that the lake will

^ flood the historic site and other sacred areas.

"That whole.area was a culturally significant area for us, for hunting, trapping, fishing, gathering, a lot

^ of history, all of our history, so that's our cultural institution and it's being raped, and it's still notenough," he said, adding he hopes Trudeau can get involved.

(*i

"Well, I don't know what exactly he can do but it's worth a shot, isn't it?" said Napoleon.

The protest camp is in a remote area. Knott said once protesters leave the main highway, they must

drive on rough, secondary roads for 90 minutes to two hours before making another seven-kilometre

trip by foot or snowmobile.m

The timber needs to be cleared before birds move in for nesting in the spring, and provincial Energy

Minister Bill Bennett said the delay would make the project more expensive.

"Government wants to be respectful of people's right to express themselves and their right to protest.

« We accept that," Bennett said in an interview. "We have to balance that with the right of the BC Hydro

ratepayers to expect that this project would get built on time and budget."

0^01/2016 Site C dam protesters dig in and prepare for arrests al historic site in B.C.

Bennett added that government agrees construction should proceed despite outstanding court

cases. He said those in opposition appear to be using the legal system as a stalling tactic, and also

noted the courts have mostly sided with the utility.

Opponents have been stating their case for a long time, but "the fact of the matter is the majority of

people in the province don't agree with them," Bennett said.

About 75 per cent of the 600 workers currently on the site are from B.C., Bennett added.

BO Hydro announced in December it would spend $1.75 billion to build the earthen dam, foundation,

two diversion tunnels and spillways.

This transcript was prepared by staff in the Document & Software Support Servicesdepartment of Fasken MartincauDuMoulin LLP.

Interviewer: So, do you want to tell me who you are, and why we're here?

^ Ken Boon: Ken Boon. And here we are justupstream ofthemouth ofthe Moberly,holding the line here, tosave this valley from destruction. The deal-outcomefor the whole situation is for Site C to be stopped.

Right now, what we're looking for is, you know, isjust to stop this, in orderthat the court cases can be - run the course- um, you know,the pendingcourt

n cases, and then we go from there.

What they've done, they've put a temporary bridge inonMoberly inorder tolog. All this river's flat for a long ways up river, and Eagle Island - that's theirintention is to log all of that, so, so, this isa very important spot here toholdthe line.

A couple ofthe Treaty 8First Nations are waiting for a decision incourt on theissuance of those permits - whether they wereconsulted properly - so, so,they're getting way ahead of themselves here bytrying to log this.

Well, the old camp shack that serves asa cookhouse, and a bitof a bunkhouse,and then a tent with a heater in it, and now we've brought,you know, we havesomemoretentsnow,andwe're just slowly building it up.

Wedon't, we'renot trying, we're not encouraging to many people to comehere, justbecause ofthe capacity. So we rotate people inand out. But, wehave, there's a lotof interest inbeing outhere, you know. We're managingthat sothat people, you know, we can justkeep a manageable amount ofpeople here.

When you have the past Area Cdirector getting arrested, you know, ataprotest, and, 1mean, look atthe wide [gamut] ofpeople who are stepping up,and just saying, "this iswrong." You know, and you know I mean, you know,we're peaceful-type people, and it's, you know, we've reluctantly come to thispoint, but, you know, there comes apoint where you just have to step up. Thattime has come.

They didn't coime to the camp to evict us but they met us at the bridge. The head ofsecurity recorded our exchange as he reminded me we were 'notfied' of our ' eviction',.1told him Ihave s hght to be here, I'mexercising my inherent rights and as a Treaty 8member i have a right to camp and be on the land wilhir. my territory and that they hadn'ittte right to be clearing or crown land while there are court cases pending. I remindedhim of Free Prior and informed consent and how one ofmy grandfathers signed thetreaty so that I could be here.

Where are they? On that side of the.. .we'regoing to go both sides

It's January 2,2016. My name isVerena Hof&nan, and I'm with YvonneTupper and Jack Askoty, and we're on the south bank inthe Peace RiverValley at the confluence ofthe Moberly and the Peace River. And we're—what you're seeing here isa temporary bridge that was wrongly put onTreaty 8 Territory by BC Hydro. And Yvonne, do you want to describewhat you have in your hand there?

I'm exercising my Treaty 8rights asa Treaty 8 member. Actually it's kindof funny that I have tostate that todo this. I think everybody, anybodywho's treaty, non-treaty, 'cause we're on Crown land, is able to dothis.What I have done is signed my signature, actually printed myname, datedit, and I'm goingto ask for the sign, "do not remove".

Wliy are you putting "do not remove"?

My fellow Treaty 8member was here yesterday, Ms Helen Knott, EmilyGardiner and Travis Fox.

Verena Hofmann: Trenton

Trenton Fox, was here thedaybefore, andthey had putthese signs onthebridge over there, and they were removed. And we would like tokeep thesesigns up. There's various signs throughout this area that state that this isTreaty 8territory. Verena, ifyou want tomove tothe front ofthe line. Soalong with mysignatures, JackAskoty is walking...

Back toour camp, the Rocky Mountain Fort Camp, which isabout a half-houi* on foot from where we are right now.

What a sadtrekthis was, to seeall the timber, the willow, the birch, thebands, laying down on the ground, for us to walk over. It'sa sad sight tosee that they used cutters and, I don't know, some other equipment, Tm not

a heavy equipment operator, but you could tell that they used specialmachines to clear tliis path, and I'm upset about that. Because these treesare older than me. It's older than you, Verena, it's older than Jack. They're200 years old. Tliey produce life, oxygen, homes for animals. We needthese trees. And it's in one of tlie court cases that old growth should besaved. And as you can look over to your right, Verena, you can see thatthere's piles of different trees ofdifferent ages, piled up, and I'm not toosure who is supposed to be the watch dog, or who is supposed to be tellingthe people who are in court opposing Site C, about these trees and oldgrowth. We're gonna walk shortly to the bridge, and show the old growtlithat was protected in the court cases, that they removed.

They may have not been protected in the court case. There was someprotected up the Moberly River, but the success in having all of themprotected right here at this flat, which was requested in the court case, wasnot successfiil. But, is tliere...

[inaudible]

This is part of the purpose ofwhy Treaty members are here today. So we'rewalking towards the bridge. What you can see here is this massive piece ofequipment, and it's the actual machine that's chomping and tearing apartthe trees and the earth and the ground where we are now. And I just want topoint out the irony ofwhat you're seeing right now. It's a pan under thehydraulics, I believe, ofthis machine, to make sure no oil drips onto thesoil. And that's called an environmental practice. But, but look aroundyou, look at the destruction and the wreckage that they've just done to theland here and the timber and the forest, and their environmental practice isputting a pan under the machine to make sure no fluids drip.

Oh look, here they come again. They must have went and got back-up.

Who's coming?

Security. I think this is going to be happening [inaudible]

So what you can see, we're walking on the bridge. All these trees that yousee underneath the fill of the bridge to make this bridge are what they've cutfi-om Treaty 8 Tenitory. I wouldn't call this being resourceful. And so nowyou can see the north banks ofthe river, of our beautiful Peace RiverValley.

Do you want to maybe ask them maybe questions about the removal of thesignage?

We're recording right now. My name's Yvonne, this is Verena. Do we haveyour consent to be recorded?

Sure.

Hi

WeYe here to camp; we're camping down the way. And we're, actually,I'm exercising my treaty riglit as a Treaty 8 member.

Sure. All I can say to you guys is we're here as security. We have to askyou guys to leave. And any other questions, you have to direct that toHydro.

So, that's just the bridge part.

All on this active work site.

Okay. Well, we don't know when it starts or when it begins. There's nosigns along the way saying it's started or begins, so I think I'm okay here.

Well, like I say, we're just, we're directed to tell you people that, okay?Any other questions or concerns, you guys contact BC Hydro. But I'll get acall on the phone here right away, and we'll make something happen hereon what you have to do, okay? But I'm under orders to get you guys— youguys cannot be on this active worksite, okay? Especially around theequipment and stuff like that.

Oh, we're not going fiirther than the bridge. We're staying here and thenwe're going to head back.

And we've put a line out, Yvonne and Jack, who's further back, have putthe line out with signage similar to the same signage that was erectedyesterday. And we want to ask you why the signage that we erectedyesterday is removed. That's the property ofTreaty 8 members that erectedit, and it's no longer there.

Oh, okay. I don't know, so you can stop that recording there now. That hadnothing to do, I wasn't here or aware of that, right? So, I'm going to haveto ask you guys to please vacate the active worksite, okay? How did youguys get here?

We walked.

Walked.. .walked fi*om where?

And why do you need to know?

The machines are not working, there's nobody in there, so you know it's notan active worksite becaxiseblack smoke would be coming out of thatmachine there.

Security guard: It is an active worksite; tliere's a piece ofmachinery here, right?

Riglit.

And our line ofsignage that has been erected is behind your piece ofequipment, so that's a line, and the signs are clear in terms ofwhat'sexpected by Treaty 8 members that have just put them up. So we're givingyou notice.

You're giving me notice?

Yeah, just as you're communicating your perspective on your notice.

That's true. And plus, there's no prior consent for this construction, fromany Treaty 8 association member, so..

See, gals, I don't know anything about that, all I know is we're...

We're communicating with you, and we asked you ifwe could videotape,you kind of nodded and you said yes, I think verbally, and we'revideotaping this.

And we're communicating. It's important for us to have an exchange so youcan communicate back to whomever your supervisors are.

But I'm not the person to talk to, right? I'm not the person. That's what Isay, just hang tough here.

Are you just alone, or who else is in the truck?

No, we've got another security person in the truck. So, but that's whatwe're directed to tell you guys. You cannot be on the active worksitewhatsoever, right? That's the end ofit. So just let me go make a couple ofcalls here, just, everybody sit tight.

We're not going to be sitting tight. We're...

We're going to make a fire and give us some

Yeah, we...

Where are you making the fire?

We're at the Rocky Mountain Fort camp on Treaty 8 territory.

I was in there today.

That's good. But did you see the signage that said no trespassing?

I didn't notice it.

Well, now you've been notified.

You've been notified; there's no trespassing on Treaty 8 territory.

Arlene Boon went out to the frontline early today and was faced by 8 menand a piece of equipment, she said she was staying and they turnedaway. I came out and say there alone by the fire, the hydro guys came byasked me if i was staying, I said yes. He asked me if i knew they wereattempting to dear and i said i was attempting to use my treaty rightsthere. Then Isat and sang to myself, prayed, and though it would be niceto have a drummer. Sure enough a drummer shows up (it's a twentyminute trek from camp to the front line) he sings for the land and I was sograteful. We went down to the bridge. And I got to pray vnth Miss ChrtelyFenton while he sang. Came across hydro guys twice. They were put onnotice that this is treaty 8 land! 'grateful for all the love and for the peoplewho move when needed**

Treaty 8 Stewards oftheLand call on Trudeau to stop megadamin B.C.*s PeaceValley

ROCKY MOUNTAIN FORT CAMP, BC, Jan. 7,2016 /CNW/ - First Nations members camped out atan historic fort site slated for destruction by the Site C dam say they are prepared to face arrest to protecttheir traditional territory.

Joined by local landowners, Treaty 8Stewards ofthe Land say they will not permit BC Hydro toproceed" :ith plans to clear-cut forests around tlie Rocky Mountain Fort site onthe west side of the Moberly

iver. The site, selected by explorer Alexander Mackenzie, was the first trading post in mainland B.C.and is situated in the traditional territory of Treaty 8 First Nations.

The $9 billion Site C dam would flood 107-kilometres of the scenic Peace River and its tributaries,including the traditional hunting and fishing grounds ofTreaty 8First Nations. In late December, despitethree on-going First Nations court cases against the dam, BC Hydro built a bridge across the mouth oftheMoberly River in preparation for logging in the proposed reservoir area.

In addition to its legal, economic, political andarchaeological significance to indigenous and non-indigenous people, the camp is the gateway to the rest ofthe threatened Peace Valley. BC Hydro hasserved notice that the camp must be dismantled.

"Logging and flooding this part of the Peace Valley will irreversibly harm our ability tohunt, fish, trapandexercise other constitutionally-protected Treaty Rights, especially since much of the restof Treaty 8Territory has been devastated byother hydro-electric, oil and gas and industrial developments," said ArtNapoleon, "To have any meaning, these treaty rights require a land base and waterways where there arewildlife and fish, andwhich is capable of supporting a diversity of plant life. Treaty rights also includemanagement level decision-making toprotect moose calving grounds, medicine harvesting and berrypicking, and spiritual practices - all ofwhich will be obliterated bySite C."

delegation ofFirst Nations chiefs told Prime Minister Trudeau's key Cabinet members in December^at suspending federal approval ofthe Site C dam is a critical litmus test ofhis government's promised

Tiew relationship with Indigenous Peoples.

"The Prime Minister says that Canada's most important relationship is with itsIndigenous Peoples andhttpy/www.printthls.cllckabillty.com/pl/cpt?expre=&title=First+Nations+Pr^)are+for+Arrest+toi-Stop+Site+C+Dam+—+ROCKY+MOUNTAiN+FORT+CAM... 1/2

that he promises to uphold and respect Treaty Rights," said Helen Knott, "This is what we are trying todo at a grassroots level. I speak as Great Great Granddaughter of Chief Bigfoot, the last to sign Treaty 8in 1911, and I am trying to honour my Grandfatlier's original intent and uphold those rights he meant toprotect. I ask Prime Minister Trudeau to also honour that original intent."

^e applaud the court cases being brought by West Moberly, Prophet River and others, but they taketime to wind their way through the courts. Meanwliile, before the court cases are even heard, BC Hydrois destroying the very valley that these court casesare intendedto protect. The way I see it, they arestealingfrom futuregenerations, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous. We are not here just for us but forthe ones that will come after us," said Helen Knott. "As individual Treaty 8 First Nation members, wecannot stand by. Do I want to be arrested? No, I am here peacefully doing what I believe is right andneeded but this land is a part of who I am and I will take a stand for it. Prime Minister Trudeaucan stopBC Hydro from destroying the Peace Valley. Until he does, we will".

TREATY 8 STEWARDS OF THE LAND ARE

PREPAREDTO BE ARRESTEDJANUARY 8. 2016 I ROY L HALES . LEAVE A COMMENT

By Roy L Hales

The

ECOfeportvywvy.theECOrepprt.com

Local First Nations set up Rocky Mountain Fort Camp

before Christmas. There were six to eight members of

the newly formed Treaty 8 Stewards of the Land sleep

ing there last night. Spokesperson Art Napoleon said

First Nations originally talked about taking a stand

near the site of the proposed Site C Dam. but B.C. Hy-

dro's work crews moved too fast. The once pristine forest that stood there has been de

stroyed. So First Nations decided to block this most recent perceived violation of Treaty 8 by

setting up Rocky Mountain Fort Camp. BC Hydro employees have already scouted the camp.

They could be preparing to seek an injunction, but this will not make the First Nations move.

Treaty 8 Stewards of the Land are prepared to be arrested.

Someone Has To Make A Stand

' Someone has to make a stand and since we are stewards of the land, we are the ones doing it

- along Vv^ith our allies who live along the banks of the river that is going to be flooded," said

Napoleon.

Treaty 8 gave local First Nations the right to hunt fish. trap, harvest traditional medicines and

continue their spiritual practices in the Peace River area.

http;//theecoreport.com/treaty-8-stewards-of-the-land-are-prepared-to-be-arrested/

10/01/2016

If the Site C Dam is built, it will flood 107-kilometres of the Peace River and its tributaries, in

cluding the traditional hunting and fishing grounds of Treaty 8 First Nations.

'There is already all kinds of mining, oil and gas, LNG, two other dams that have already been

built: no compensation: no consultation on the first two (dams). Now that the courts have

made consultation a requirement, especially since we have treaty rights, but that has not been

the case." said Napoleon

He added. "We don't think Premier Christy Clark gives a s about treaty rights. I don't even

know if she has the ability to define them. She doesn't take them seriously at all."

"The RCMP would never go out there and arrest someone for violation of a treaty right. We

live in a racist society, that's just how it is."

Appealing To Trudeau

In a press release, issued yesterday, the Stev\/ards of the Land called upon Prime Minister Jus

tin Trudeau to intervene.

Napoleon says there is no guarantee the court cases, which are really appeals of the decisionto grant Site C environmental approval will succeed.

He believes there is no need for B.C. Hydro to log this year. They have proceeded despite the

court cases and public outcry in an attempt to railroad this project.

"What they are trying to do is push their way in, show what they have done so there will be no

backing out," he said.

Treaty 8 Stewards Of The Land Are Prepared To Be ArrestedSo the group now calling themselves Treaty 8 Stewards of the Landhas set up at Rocky Moun

tain Fort Camp, to deny BC Hydro further access to the land. Though they are across the river

from Fort St John, this is a remote location half a mile from the nearest road. People come on a

rotating basis. There have been as many as 10, and as few are five. They know the courts could

issue an injunction in favour of B.C.Hydro. Ifthat happens. Treaty 8 Stewards Of The Land Are

Prepared To Be Arrested.

Latest RMF camp "Wish List".

We really could do with one (or two) prefab outhouses built so that we couldhaul them to RMF by truck/snowmobile and then assemble them easilyonsight. The bathroom facility is a bit rustic, to stay the least

Ifanyone has a large grate for the firepit (or can weld one together), peoplecould cook on the fire when it is nice outside This would also help conserve

fuel for the Coleman stove

\Ne could also use some help of local supporters who have 4WD pickupsand snowmobiles to transport supplies to RMF It would be a great daytripfor outdoorsy types used to the backcountry. Three-four hours drive fromFort St John (less, ifyou are coming from HH or Chetwynd), ttien a shortsnowmobile ride down the hill (20 minutes) to help out where needed(assembling outhouses, etc.), then back to your truck by late afternoon andhome in time for a fashionably late dinner. (The crew holding down the Fortis too busy to get more firewood, so if someone brought their own chainsaw

f~t they could spend a couple of hours cutting wood and transporting it tocamp).

There is now a small freezer set up at Peace Equestrian Park, Pedersen'sto leave frozen food, preprepared meals in Remember that the campdoesnt have an oven so meals should be stovetop friendly for reheatingThank you

Cold day at the camp yesterday (-25C before windchill), but good to makeprayers for the water and the land, the chief spirits, the ancestors, all livingbeings (and those needlessly destroyed), and ali who are doing their bestto honour this sacred Peace River Valley. Connecting and sharingperspectives that go beyond the Illusion of the lie austerity keeps feedingus...very good for the soul. Lifewas not meant to be played like a game oftaking more than your share just to have it. at the cost of there being notenough for everything else. Nice to find a collective space to step out ofthe game and reconnect with the true purpose of life. Grateful to everyonewho is sharing our plight, providing donations and supplies, praying for the

water and the land, and especially to those making the difficult trip to thecamp, and slaying there in some very extreme cold weather conditions.We think heroes are larger than life figures we see on TV, but 1know theyare really mothers and elders and farmers and ail those other beautiful

people who just feel a calling, who man fires and document medicines and

share stories and pray...and stand by their inner truth at all costs. To all ofyou involved with the camp, I know no greater heroes. You are all the firethat warms the ancestors.

Was Hunger Games a myth or is it reality. It's seems likea realityfor me.Landowners and Treaty 8- Indigenous individualssaying enough toconstruction/destruction of the Peace Valley.Govt hoping to divide and conquer whilerobbing 9 billion dollars from us-who pay an utility bill. The money we pay monthlyshould be in black-goodstandings but no..reality be hydro is on debt. Yes a years offdebtAs a Treaty member who pays taxes and my hydro bill, i give money tothe provincial utility and they seriously mismanaged money. Seriously itshould be only in the good not in the red. Whose getting rich here? Whereis our money going? Whyshould people pay another 30%on a hydro billthat is being mismanaged.And when the BC Municipalities voted 'No' to the destruction of PeaceValley-govt override it knowingthat Vancouver will not get a new SeaWall- other Municipalities will not get their infrastructure funds in the next10-20 years until the destruction is finished.

If you do not give Consent for this dam to be built, help support our cause; Treaty 8 Stewards Of the Lands.1) People who are opposed Site C-joinus in Camp.

2) Social media champaigns: Write"In SolidaritywithTreaty 8 Stewards Of the Lands as long as the sunshines, River flows and grass grows*Hashtag/# Keep The PeaceAnd tag Helen Knolt or myself.

Be Idle No More! Our Rivers needs us now! Save our Water ways! Protectour land, animals, agriculture, air and fowl, environment. 40 years ofprotesting done and 40 more years to go until this mega Dam project isceased forever.

Many supporters opposing Site C: locally, regionally, provinclally, nationswide, internationally and world-wide. Please continue to morel

Our Grand Chief Phillips stated he wifl join the camp and gladly bearrested to Stop Site C.David Suzuki long time protestor opposing Site C stated Treaty Rights isput to the test and willwin this battle- we must all join together)West Moberly Lake Chief Roland Wilson this nol-so-clean-mega dam isnot needed. Ken and Arlene BOON-PVEA Landowners opposed Site Cwhole heartedly, o farmlands are needed.

Call out to all peaceful protesters with Drums, notsemakers. signsopposing Site C Dam are needed at either side of Peace River on Crownland.

Why:BC Hydro continuing to assault Treaty 8 iand-rights-and environmentallaws without prior consent and Both Federal and BC Supreme CourtCases pending and in processions.An violent insult and assault to land, animals, and Treaty 8 to not ceaseconstruction until all court cases are finalized.

This power is not neededAn International assault as well. West Moberly Lake Chief: Roland Wilson-this nol-so-clean-mega dam is no! needed. There are many energyalternatives with less environmental destruction and less costs to buildwith more long term emptoyment.BRFN Chief Marvin Yahey: Site C Dam was last straw-thls dam destroysanimals migration and violates our Treaty rights and gravely effects ourlivelihoods.

PRFN Lynette Tsakoza: we need to think abou! the prophecies and ourgrandchildren. What are we leaving behind?"Too much oil and gas, we couldn't celebrate my grandson's kill of his firstmoose" This has to end, Late Coundl Kelvin Davis- Doig River FirstNations.

Peaceful camp occupancy continues at Site C dam construction site

ROCKY MOUNTAIN FORT CAMP, BC,Treaty 8 Territory, Jan. 18,2016/CNW/ - FirstNationmembers today called onthe Canadian and British Columbian governments to embrace a three-point planthat will protect lands at imminent threat ofdestruction aspreparatory work continues tobuild the Site Cdam.

"As Treaty SStewards oftheLand, wehave been camped outatRocky Mountain Fort for many days inaccordance withour beliefthat the SiteC dam project represents a direct, and uimecessary threat to thetraditional lands of Treaty 8 peoples," saidYvonne Tupper. "We callon Prime Minister Trudeau and

^ Premier Christy Clark to work with us to ensme that these lands areprotected by temporarily suspendingapprovals to log forests, build roads, and clear further lands inpreparation for dam construction."

^ The three-point plan calls for:

• A temporary suspension ofallconstruction and land-clearing operations related tothe Site Cdamrn project until court challenges initiated by First Nations and local landowners who are opposed to

the project are finally determined,• The federal government to temporarily suspend all federal Site C dam project approvals and the

PI issuance ofany ftiture permits pending an expedited, open and transparent federal review oftheinfringement of Constitutionally protected Treaty 8 rights by the Site C dam.

• The provincial government totemporarily suspend allconstruction work at the Site Cdam sitef-? pending anindependent review bythe BC Utilities Commission of the Site Cdam project, with full

procedural safeguards, as recommended bythe federal/provincial Joint Review Panel and manyothers.

PI

Today's release of the three-point protection plan marks the 20^^ day that Treaty 8First Nation StewardsofLand, joined by local landowners and supporters from across British Columbia, have been camped atthe historic Rocky Mountain Fort site. The camp stands a short distance from where the Moberly Rivermeets the Peace River, just up-river from the proposed Site Cdam site. The dam, ifbuilt, would flood107 kilometres ofriver valley lands along the Peace River and its tributaries and lead for example to thepermanent loss ofnumerous First Nation burial grounds, other culturally and historically important sites,

and valuable farmland.

Historically andstill today, the Peace River has been theentranceway to vastbountiful lands andwaters,as well as being the foothold thathas welcomed andprovided formany different groups of people andenterprises.

There are two significant events that explain why we are united andwith peaceful intent to protect andcare for the Peace RiverValley. First, along these waters and islands of the Peace River, battling Beaver(also known as the Dane-zaa) and Cree agreed to a truce so that theirfuture generations couldco-existand be sustained by the landandwaterin perpetuity. Secondly, the signing of theTreaty in thePeaceRiver Valley between First Nations andtheCrown promised thatwewould live a peaceful shared coexistence. Also, FirstNations wereguaranteed to be ableto always pursue theirusual vocations prior toentering into Treaty and without forced interference.

There areother examples ofpeaceful relationships with First Nations: explorers were guided into newplaces; fur traders were taught ways to survive and prospered; gold seekers passed through freely; and,pioneer families established fanning homesteads.

These longstanding relationships andthe solemn promises of Treaty arewhatguide us and it is in thatspirit thatwearehere today at theRocky Mountain Fort Camp anditssurroundings onthesouth banks ofthe Peace RiverValley. We, the Treaty 8 Stewards oftheLand and our supporters, aredirectdescendants of the people whowerethe first inhabitants, Treaty signatories, andlater, settlers of thePeace River Valley.

We are reasonable, responsible, andlaw abiding citizens. Weare mothers, youth, Elders, farmers,bushmen, business owners, teachers and artists. Our supportis not only local but nation-wide. We arerespectful andhave no intent to be involved in any occurrences that would be unsafe or harmful to eitherhumans and property.

"Wecontinueto be involved in thepeaceful, lawful exercise of our TreatyRights to protectthe land andhighlight our concerns about the irreversible, negative impacts that thisproject will have on the PeaceRiver Valley and on the exerciseof our constitutionally protected Treaty 8 rights," said Art Napoleon.

"Wewant a binding commitment from the federal andprovincial governments thatthey will honor,respect and take into proper consideration thefindings and recommendations emanating from the abovethree action items. Once the three actions are completed, then the govemments can decidewhetheror notto lift the suspension on SiteC's construction or to makethe suspension permanent," said HelenKnott.

The Treaty 8 Stewards oftheLandcontacted internationally respected energy expert Robert McCulloughto askwhether or nota temporary suspension of construction of the SiteC Damwould be costly to BCtaxpayers and hydro ratepayers.

Robert McCullough replied,

"The short answer is no. Thefederal/provincial Site CJointReview PanelfoundthatSite C is being builtbefore it is needed andso the relatively high cost Site Cpower will beexported at a lossfor thefirstfouryearsofoperation. BCHydro is likely to lose 50cents on every dollar ofSite Cpower exported duringthefirstfouryears ofoperation. This amounts toa loss ofhundreds ofmillions ofdollars, which is likelyto more than offset thecosts associated with temporarily suspending Site C Construction.

Ironically, BC Hydro isconcerned about delay while regional bulkpower electricprices arefalling totheir lowest levels in history. The U.S. Energy Information Administration annual on-peak averageprice

for our region hasfallen tojust 41% ofits levelssince 2007. Currentprices —andforwardpricesthrough 2025 —are approximately halfthe price ofSite C."

This information demonstrates the economic folly of Site C. Clearly the Treaty SStewards ofthe Landand their supporters are acting in the best interests of all British Columbians.

Here is how BC Hydrodoes their job. They hire a guy withan Aussieaccent (another "80" employee) to come onto your property repeatedlyharrass you and then serve a family member with papers meant for you,to let you know that having a freezer outside of your garage, that peoplewho wish to feed Treaty 8 members, by leaving food inside and takingfrom as needed, Is an offense to be Sued for. Wow. Oh and also grantingpermission for individuals to access an undeveloped public access roadthat runs on your property, that BC Hydro landed a chopper on the samespot, (without asking permission) FYIthe papers are lyingsomewhere onthe ground outside, Iwas told 3 days ago what Bullshit was in the papers.

Seriously Oh and Hydro troll that trolls this site Fuck You creepy Bastardsthis will NOT stop people protesting this project.

From our homes we will not run.
