Tofino activist group gets its facts wrong
Mainstream Canada Newsletter, Date:Tue, 2012-07-10
A recent public statement by the Friends of Clayoquot Sound gets almost all the facts wrong about our Plover Point farm site application, about IHN, ISA and the Cohen Commission.
The site application, which has been in process for two years, is nearly complete. We have provided information during the application process to the public through our website, through open houses held last year and we have also provided information to individuals who asked for it, including members of the Friends of Clayoquot Sound.
Transport Canada completed a Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency screening report last month, and concluded that "the authority is of the opinion that the project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects."
Despite this report, and despite all the information made available to the group during the past year, the Friends of Clayoquot Sound have made a number of serious errors in their latest statement. We have corrected them here.
