Skandatut

Represented the Huron-Wendat Nation during a six-year battle to save Skandatut, an internationally significant aboriginal cultural heritage site containing the archaeological remains of a large and heavily fortified, late sixteenth-century ancestral Huron-Wendat village, once considered the “capital” of central Ontario. Failed negotiations and a court challenge led Donnelly Law to obtain a rare Stop Work Order under the Ontario Heritage Act from the Ministry of Culture. The Vaughan site is now protected in perpetuity.
