Site C Dam Named After Horgan, Stirs Controversy
Description
The Site C dam in British Columbia, once a contentious project, has been renamed the John Horgan Dam. This decision has sparked controversy, especially considering the dams history and its impact on First Nations communities. The reservoir, now named Nááchę mege, has also been a source of dispute due to its location over ancestral burial sites. Despite consultations with thirteen First Nations, the West Moberly First Nation, a key opposition group, was not involved in the naming process. The decision to honor John Horgan, who once opposed the project, has further complicated the situation, highlighting the complex history and ongoing repercussions of the dams construction.
