A delegation from a B.C. First Nation is in the United Kingdom this week to push for full compensation for a disastrous fuel and oil spill nearly 10 years ago.

The delegation from the Heiltsuk First Nation met with Arsenio Dominguez, the Secretary General of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), as well as Transport Canada’s IMO delegation in London.

The First Nation wants the Canadian government to come to the table to resolve restoration and compensation for the Nathan E. Stewart oil spill, which happened almost 10 years ago in Heiltsuk territory.
