CANMORE, Alta. – An Alberta First Nation has added its voice to a call for a provincial environmental assessment on two major property development projects in Canmore.

Stoney Nakoda First Nations have sent a letter to the province seeking an assessment on the Three Sisters Village and Smith Creek projects.

The Stoney Nakoda are comprised of the Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney First Nations.

The letter says the Stoney Nakoda require traditional lands to be ecologically functional to continue their cultural and traditional practices such as hunting, gathering, camping and fishing.

Both Canmore projects comprise everything from residential homes to resort facilities and commercial development.

The concerns come after a group of Canmore residents also asked the government to follow its own legislation and require an environmental assessment be done on the developments.
