The Shoal Lake #39 First Nation is taking the City of Winnipeg to court to try and prevent the sale of water to other communities in Manitoba.
Winnipeg gets its water from Shoal Lake, but the First Nation has been trying to get the city to cough up 124 million dollars a year for that right.
The Shoal Lake Band argues Winnipeg doesn't have the right to sell the water and is launching a judicial review which could bring the dispute to court later this year.
