The BC Cattlemen’s Association announced this morning it is applying for intervenor status in a court challenge of BC’s Declaration for Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA). The Pender Harbour and Area Resident’s Association filed the case in BC Supreme Court in February, arguing the legislation is unconstitutional and a violation of democratic rights. “This is not a challenge of Indigenous rights or reconciliation,” says BCCA president Werner Stump. “BC Cattlemen’s Association supports fair and transparent reconciliation processes that strengthen relationships over the long term. This is about exploring whether the province has made a mistake in delegating decision-making responsibility and not balancing non-Indigenous interests.”

BC ranchers took their concerns directly to the Legislature today as the BC Cattlemen's Association hosted their annual BC Beef Day, serving some 700 beef-on-a-bun lunches — made with steak from BCCA member Paul Devick and family's Rangeland Meats — before spending the afternoon in meetings with MLAs. "Our focus and resolve will remain to represent the interests of ranchers across the province," said BCCA president Werner Stump.
