First Nation welcomes stay in Alberta referendum

The Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation (ACFN) has expressed satisfaction with the Alberta Court of King's Bench decision to grant a stay on the provincial separation referendum. This pause comes pending the resolution of a court challenge initiated by the First Nation. The ACFN views this development as a positive step, allowing for further legal consideration before any potential referendum proceeds. This decision highlights ongoing legal and political tensions within Alberta.
