Court date

The Dene Tha' are going to federal court to block the giant Mackenzie Valley pipeline, a $7 billion project that will tap into gas reserves in the Beaufort Sea. The Dene Tha' are worried that the pipeline development will ruin their way of life. They will argue they were not properly consulted about the project, saying they weren't officially told about the Mackenzie Valley pipeline until January of last year. The band reports the pipeline will take a 100-metre swath of its land. It will be in court in June.
