After years of protest, the Tsuut'ina Nation has withdrawn its opposition to the proposed Springbank reservoir, a major flood-mitigation project the Alberta government plans to build upstream of Calgary. The Tsuut'ina Nation sent a letter, now posted online, saying it would "not participate any further in regulatory review processes." "In the nation's withdrawal of opposition, we get one step closer to the safety and security that the Springbank reservoir will provide." The Springbank reservoir has been controversial since first being explored in 2014 as part of the response to the 2013 floods in southern Alberta.
