Siska First Nation to Receive Funds for Losses Resulting from Creation of Canadian Pacific
16 April 2021
Ottawa Ontario - The Siska First Nation will receive a $4.7 million award from the Canadian government for losses stemming from the
creation of the Canadian Pacific Railway.
Business in Vancouver reports the award was granted by Canada's Specific Claims Tribunal, created in 2008 to address claims made by First Nations groups, and
is potentially precedent setting because it is the first time losses have been awarded for lost fishing opportunities.
The award covers infringement resulting from CP's route along the Fraser River in British Columbia, which uses about 90 acres of a reserve set aside for the
Siska.
