This decision comes after months of backdoor negotiations. The last input by the public was in June 2021 – almost a year ago, with the project changing significantly over time.
Yet, the council wrote up its decision.
NOW IT IS OUR TURN TO MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD:
The council has to address, consider and take a hard look at all potential impacts, by law.
Let’s tell the council how this project impacts us, the community, the environment, its historical and cultural heritage, and our future.
