Facts:
Johnny Jacob Seewalt, the appellant, leased Crown land within Meadow Lake Provincial Park to operate a riding-stable business. After purchasing the business and its lease, which expired on October 31, 2019, he remained as a month-to-month tenant. The Government terminated his tenancy in June 2020, citing lease terms and a breakdown in relations. Seewalt sued, alleging improper termination and breach of lease due to forest harvesting plans.

Legal Arguments/Issues:

• Lease Termination: Seewalt claimed the Government had no right to terminate the lease without cause or proper notice.
• Forest Harvesting Breach: He alleged commercial harvesting began unlawfully during his lease, damaging his business.
• Misrepresentation: He argued the Government failed to disclose forest management plans during the lease assignment.
• Other Claims: He raised issues regarding COVID-19 road blockades, quiet enjoyment, and breaches of environmental law.

The Chambers judge dismissed his claims, finding no genuine issue for trial. It ruled that harvesting began after lease termination and that implied terms under The Parks Act permitted such activity.

Costs Award:
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, affirming the dismissal of Seewalt's action. Costs of $2,500 were awarded to the Government in the Chambers decision; no additional costs were ordered on appeal.

Disposition:
The case highlighted the Government’s rights under lease terms and statutory authority over Crown land. Seewalt was found responsible for his losses due to misunderstanding lease terms and failing to cooperate.
