Wildlands League brought a motion for leave to intervene as a friend of the court on a motion for leave to appeal brought by the Minister of Natural Resources, and on the appeal if leave is granted.
The underlying dispute involves a company's right to use a road through Lake Superior Provincial Park for forestry operations.
The court granted the intervention, finding that Wildlands League could provide a useful perspective on the environmental assessment issues without causing injustice to the parties, subject to conditions including not adding to the evidentiary record.
