The BC Utilities Commission is currently deciding the next steps regarding a complaint from Gitga’at First Nation protesting BC Hydro’s annual $85,000 utility fee charged to the Hartley Bay community.
The $85,000 yearly fee is a charge the community pays on top of regular payments individuals in the community make for hydro. The federal government agreed to continue providing First Nations in the program funding that had been given to them previously to operate their own electricity service. However, BC Hydro would be able to recuperate this money by charging these communities once a year. In that sense, BC Hydro said the money was merely ‘flowing through’ the First Nation, but was really coming from the federal government.
However, BC Hydro wrote, if the BCUC determines that the fee does need to be reviewed, then it will be up to them to decide whether it should be stopped, whether past payments should be refunded and if so, who will pay for them.

BC Ferries signs protocol agreement with Tsartlip First Nation on Vancouver IslandOn Friday, BC Ferries signed a protocol agreement with the Tsartlip First Nation of Vancouver Island, clearing a way for reconciliation. It's pretty straight forward business. If FN don't want BC Ferries landing on their territory, don't. It benefits them if BC Ferries does. This is nothing but the BC NDP shoveling bribe money to FN for votes. BC LIbs did it, so will BC NDP. We need a new party to vote for.😟
