Indian band gives back $100,000 for Site C consultation

The McLeod Lake Indian Band says it's pulling out of the consultation process for the proposed Site C hydroelectric dam and has given back more than $100,000 of the funding it was allotted by B.C. Hydro to participate.

The McLeod Lake Indian Band says it's pulling out of the consultation process for the proposed Site C hydroelectric dam and has given back more than $100,000 of the funding it was allotted by B.C. Hydro to participate.
