Summary

Standing Buffalo Dakota First Nation Chief Rodger Redman is demanding consultation and answers from Bell Canada about its AI data centre near Regina. The project in the Rural Municipality of Sherwood is expanding from 300 megawatts to 1.2 gigawatts, prompting concerns about water, natural gas use, environmental effects and Indigenous rights. Redman gave Bell’s senior leaders 10 business days to respond and says the First Nation may pursue legal action or a judicial review if they do not.
