Members of the Musqueam First Nation are celebrating a ruling from the province on the land known as the Marpole Midden along Southwest Marine Drive in Vancouver.
Band councillor Wade Grant says a ruling on two permits has come down, one stating no further alteration of the land can occur, the other, allowing for more time to re-inter ancient remains that have been uncovered.
“From the very beginning, this is what our community members have been asking. The site is a significant heritage site for us, and not only for us, we believe for everybody in this province”
He says the developer behind the condo project can appeal the ruling and expects that will happen.
