CTV News – British Columbia has decided not to appeal a provincial Supreme Court ruling that found the government breached the Treaty 8 agreement signed with the Blueberry River First Nations more than 120 years ago by allowing development without the community’s approval. Attorney General David Eby says the court was clear the province must improve its management of the cumulative impacts of industrial development in the territory in B.C.’s northeast.
