The event could be lively given the amount of concern expressed by residents around Saanich Inlet
With the Environmental Assessment Office’s public engagement now closed on the potential environmental review of the Bamberton quarry expansion, Coast Mountain Resources plans to hold an open house next week to discuss the project.
The society says it has scientific information that warns of pollution and contamination danger if the quarry is expanded. “Our government recognizes the importance of the Saanich Inlet to the public and its value as an important environmental resource and would like to thank the public for their feedback on the proposed quarry expansion project,” he said. “Reviewable projects require an environmental assessment by the EAO — and an environmental assessment certificate — in order to be approved by the province to proceed.
That frustrated the Saanich Inlet Protection Society and left many of the residents who have expressed their concerns about the impact of the quarry thinking the public engagement was little more than lip service.
