Petrowest Corp. is facing a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of British Columbia from Kent Peyton, a man who claims that he was fired for no good reason from a management position at the Site C dam. Mr. Peyton says that he lost his $854,000-per-year job in a humiliating, callous and insensitive manner. The dismissal came after a disagreement over safety at the site, he claims.

The allegations are contained in a notice of claim that Mr. Peyton filed at the Vancouver courthouse on Oct. 4, 2017. In the suit, he explains how Petrowest lured him away from his job of nine years as a senior vice-president at Flatiron Group to become the Site C dam construction director. His employment at Petrowest, as described in the suit, was to be for at least five years. Mr. Peyton's pay during that term, with bonuses and other allowances, was to begin at $854,000 and reach $984,727 in the final year. Although he was a Petrowest employee, he actually worked for an affiliate, Peace River Hydro Partners, he says.
