THUNDER BAY – The Fort William First Nation, Horizon Wind Inc., and the province were back in a Thunder Bay Courtroom Monday.
Fort William First Nation is seeking an injunction against the Ministry of Environment and other provincial ministries.
The First Nation alleges Crown ministries have failed in their duty to consult over the proposed Big Thunder Wind Park.
The First Nation has also filed Judicial Reviews against the province.
On Monday they were seeking an injunction to prevent the Ministry of Environment from approving Horizon Wind’s project until those Judicial Reviews are heard.
Lawyers representing the Crown argued there is still consultation underway. But that comes as news to the First Nation, which says there has been no meaningful talks ongoing.
The Judge reserved her decision on the injunction.
It could be weeks or months before a decision is rendered.
Representatives of the First Nation believe the Ministry of Environment is on the verge of approving the wind farm, despite the concerns they have raised.
