The Friends of the Oldman River are again seeking a court ruling on a decision of the Energy Resources Conservation Board and are calling for a public hearing on the controversial dam.

Last month, the board decided the dam is not a hydroelectric project (to export power to the United States) but groups opposing the project say the decision was made without public input.

The Friends won a court decision in December when the province was found to have issued permits for dam construction without following proper procedures.
