Former cabinet minister Bill Boyd is now expected to enter a plea on four environmental charges early next year, after his latest court date on the matter was adjourned for the third time.

Boyd, a founding member of the Saskatchewan Party, faces three charges under the provincial Environmental Protection and Management Act and one under the Wildlife Protection Act; all four counts relate to altering wildlife habitat and part of the bank of the South Saskatchewan River.

After two previous adjournments, Boyd was scheduled to appear in Kindersley Provincial Court this week, near where the offences are alleged to have taken place. That appearance resulted in another adjournment, this time until Feb. 6.

“I’m working together with his lawyer in an effort to work out a remediation plan for the lands in question that satisfied all the government agencies involved,” Crown prosecutor Matthew Miazga said.
