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.

Now is your chance to help ensure Ktunaxa voices guide the next steps!
