The Nation filed a judicial review on about 8 July seeking to overturn both the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority’s Project and Environmental Review Permit and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans’ Fisheries Act Authorization, both granted on 23 June 2026 for dredging at the Second Narrows in Burrard Inlet. TWN argues the approval process was rushed and did not address concerns about marine shipping impacts, particularly increased oil tanker traffic from the Westridge Marine Terminal, and that the VFPA issued its permit without resolving gaps TWN had identified in the review. The filing provides the specific permit types, dates, and legal grounds behind the same‑day announcement that the Nation would challenge federal approval for the dredging.
