We are asking for Rich Coleman's resignation because of his poor track record as a public servant. We feel that British Columbians deserve a new Forests Minister who will truly put the long-term future of our forests, and forest communities first. Here is your opportunity to shape the future. Please add your comments on what you, personally, are looking for in a new BC Minister of Forests.
CRD bylaws 3474, 3495 and 3500 were passed on April 23rd through fourth and final reading!
These by-laws will help maintain the rural and forest character of the Juan de Fuca electoral area and minimize urban sprawl between Sooke and Port Renfrew on previous Tree Farm Licence lands.
This is great news, much thanks to all the energy, commitment, and support you have shown.
It is great that the CRD by-laws have passed but we still need to make sure Western Forest Products (WFP) application for immediate subdivision under the old zoning is not approved.
It is one non-elected staff member, the provincial subdivision approval officer- Bob Wylie –under the Ministry of transportation who has the power to allow Western Forest Products the ability to subdivide 319 parcels of land in Jordan River and surrounding areas. Bob Wylie has a year from April to approve the subdivisions, before the current zoning comes into play.
