A landmark religious freedom case between a ski resort and a First Nation will play out in Canada’s highest court.
The Ktunaxa First Nation say the resort would desecrate land where their sacred Grizzly Bear Spirit lives.
British Columbia says adequate accommodations have been made.
It will be the first time the Supreme Court determines the merits of an indigenous religious freedom claim under the Canada’s rights charter.
In March 2012, the British Columbia (BC) government approved the disputed Jumbo Glacier ski resort development planned in a remote valley in the province’s mountainous southeast.
