Yeah if your grandparents really were burried on the road allowance for Stoney Trail then I could understand.

Something tells me this arguement against approval falls under the same arguement that gets trotted out as if it were some kind of trump card everytime someone wants to do anything near or on native lands (Or even on crown land hundreds of KMs from any native reserve).

Burrial grounds, most likely are losely defined as "Well this land has been used by Natives for generations going back thousands of years and certainly somewhere on said land, someone was burried at some time, so in order to leave the hypathetical spirits of the hypathetical people burried here at peace the land must not be touched for any purpose."
