Summary
Standing Buffalo Dakota First Nation Chief Rodger Redman has asked Bell Canada to consult the First Nation about its AI data centre near Regina and proposed expansion. The project in the Rural Municipality of Sherwood is set to grow from 300 megawatts to 1.2 gigawatts. Redman’s concerns include groundwater, cooling systems, natural gas use, waste disposal and site rehabilitation. He has given Bell’s senior leadership 10 business days to respond; if it does not, he says the First Nation may pursue legal action or a judicial review.
