A Métis harvesting rights case in Meadow Lake that could influence similar matters across Saskatchewan has been adjourned to September, with no decision yet reached.
The cases involving Warren Boyer, Oliver Poitras and Harold St. Pierre were adjourned to Sept. 14, 2026, in Meadow Lake Provincial Court.
The three men face provincial charges related to hunting and fishing without licences.
The case has been treated as a test case, with similar charges elsewhere in the province on hold pending its outcome, according to one of the defence lawyers, Kathy Hodgson-Smith.
