30-Aug-05. Protesters given time to prepare casino case. Calgary Herald, B7.

The Stoney First Nation will have to wait two more weeks to seek an injunction to prevent three band members from further blocking construction of a planned casino on the reserve west of Calgary. The three women were involved in a protest last month at a sod-turning ceremony for the proposed $27-million casino at the intersection of the Trans-Canada Highway and Highway 40. They contend that the land is traditionally held by their family and that the site should be relocated to less sensitive land.
