EDMONTON – The Alberta government must pull back its new Forest Act before it becomes law next month, says the grand chief of the province’s northern First Nations.
“We expect the province to suspend the new Forest Act immediately,” Arthur Noskey of Treaty 8 First Nations said Thursday. “We are asking (the government) to pull this back and consult with us.”
