Deadline is April 17, 2025
Why This Matters
- The IMBA was originally signed in 2016 between Ktunaxa and Teck Coal(now EVR, after its 2024 acquisition by Glencore).
- A third-party review in 2023 led to a set of recommendations, which were shared with Ktunaxa leadership and citizens.
- At last year’s engagement sessions, citizens and non-KNC staff said they wanted more involvement in shaping these changes.
- This Task Force is being formed in response to that feedback.
