Work continues on dam as court date is set

The Alberta government will be going to court Feb. 8 to appeal a ruling that provincial regulations were broken in the approval of the Oldman River dam construction.

Lawyers for the government and the Friends of the Oldman River will argue whether or not Environment Minister Ken Kowalski ignored the need for public notice before approving the controversial $349 million project.

Despite a court decision in December saying the government broke the rules, construction continues at the Three Rivers site as the province was granted a stay order.
