Ts’yl-os Lodge and Adventures claims the province failed to negotiate First Nation land title rights with its interest in mind
A backcountry recreation company based out of the Ts'yl-os Provincial Park is suing the B.C. government, claiming it has failed to adequately consider its interests in negotiating land title rights with the Xeni Gwet’in First Nation.
The company provides one- to two-week fly-in packages, including big game hunts, angling, guided bear-viewing, wildlife photography and more for “high-end and selective tourists from around the world” who “pay a premium rate and often book a year in advance.” McLean claimed the commercial viability of her business has been “seriously diminished” due to “the detrimental impacts on the wilderness values,” resulting in loss of revenue.
The B.C. government reportedly assured McLean it would negotiate with the Xeni Gwet’in First Nation regarding McLean’s business interests in the area, but she claimed the government “failed to do so in a timely manner with care for the plaintiffs' interests.”
