Alberta League for Environmentally Responsible Tourism
December 1, 2004
In a decision released yesterday, the Honourable Justice Berger dismissed an application by 1006335 Alberta Inc. for leave to appeal the decision of
the Clearwater County Subdivision and Development Appeal Board (SDAB).
In their June 2004 decision, the SDAB had denied 1006355 Alberta Inc. a development permit for their proposed Abraham Glacier Wellness Resort.
The Appeal Court Judge denied permission to appeal the SDAB’s decision because the appeal would have little chance of success.
The Judge found that the main basis for the SDAB’s decision was the lack of information provided by the proponent.

In summary, the evidentiary deficiencies noted by the SDAB are incapable of being overcome.” Read More
