Group opposing Malahat First Nation plan to expand Bamberton aggregate quarry says few questions were answered at a recent Environmental Assessment office forum
Saanich Inlet Protection Society is holding a public information session on Friday on the proposed expansion of an aggregate quarry at Bamberton, saying it was disappointed and frustrated by a virtual information session held by the Environmental Assessment Office this month.
“Over 175 questions were submitted but less than 20 were answered,” said Eric Falkenberg-Poetz, president of the society. “The lack of public consultation by the EAO is astounding.” Maureen Alexander, a Mill Bay resident who first drew attention to the expansion plans, said the society has fielded “scores of emails from people who feel the EAO’s public engagement is a joke.”
