The project is being developed by Minas Basin Pulp and Power, Oxford Frozen Foods Ltd., and Nova Scotia Power. The project was built entirely within land owned by Minas Basin.[3]
The Municipality of the District of Chester approved the project March 14, 2013.[1]
However a local citizens group, the Friends of South Canoe Lake, has launched an appeal of this decision citing the decision did not reasonably conform to Chester's Municipal Planning Strategy (MPS). As of May 30, deliberations are underway at the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board (UARB) under case number M05602.
