When a large decision is made, contention is inevitable. However, when a gargantuan project the size of BC Hydro’s Site C is proposed. Many more voices are calling to be heard. As shown in this article, Site C project is a controversial hydroelectric generation station on the Peace River in Northeastern British Columbia being proposed by BC Hydro, the province’s principle energy company. The project is currently awaiting determination on the company’s proposal. 
Although this project is of high value economically to both the government as well as BC Hydro, many industry forces are slowing the progress of this proposal and pose a significant threat to a positive determination on the proposal.
A key stakeholder impeding the progress of this decision is the Tsilhqot’in First Nation. Aside from the government and BC Hydro, the First Nation affected by this decision has political, economic and social role in this decision. The First Nation, which has inhabited the land in question has inhabited the territory for many generations. As a result, the Tsilhqot’in First Nation has been de jure in title of the land. This project would economically benefit the company and the government. However this economic benefit is marginal with respect to the First Nation. The controversy surrounding this contention is centered around the political statement and social unrest an approval of this proposal would be. In essence, a widespread awareness of the consequences this project would have on both the aboriginal land and its inhabitants raises questions about business ethics.
