13-Dec-05. Casino gets court OK to build for limited time, at band’s risk. Edmonton Journal, B5.
Justice Adele Kent granted an interim injunction on Monday that will allow construction of a casino on the Stoney Reserve to continue until February 15th. Protesters trying to stop construction say that the land where the band plans to build has been in their family since before a treaty established the Stoney Reserve. Kent ruled that the $30-million casino at Highway 40 and the Trans-Canada Highway can proceed but the Stoney Nation is only doing so at their risk.
