Our Coal Hard Facts: Coal Shipment Impacts on the Sunshine Coast held on November 23rd at the Sechelt Indian Band Hall in was a resounding success.
Over 150 people packed the SIB Hall, including Chief Garry Feschuk, District 46 School Trustee Lori Dixon, SCRD Councillor Donna Shugar, and Gibsons Councillor Lee-Ann Johnson for an informative and lively two and one-half hour meeting.
We send our gratitude to the generous donors and volunteers who helped make it all possible, including: Roger Handling (graphic design), Sechelt Indian Band (donation of facilities), Strait Coffee, our knowledgeable panelists for their time and expertise, and the many helping hands too numerous to name.
A Youtube video of the presentation is available.

SCCA Signs Covenant to Protect Gambier Reserves |
|
The Islands Trust Fund, owner of three nature reserves on Gambier Island, recently signed conservation covenants with the Gambier Island Conservancy and Sunshine Coast Conservation Association. The covenants legally commit all three organizations to share responsibility for safeguarding the reserves.
The three reserves, spanning 150 hectares, provide a wildlife corridor stretching from the bluffs of Brigade Bay to the top of Mt. Artaban, a popular hiking destination that rises 614 metres (2,014 feet) above Howe Sound and is visible from the Sea-to-Sky Highway.
The Sunshine Coast Conservation Association sees the three-party agreement as an integral part of its mandate. “This is exactly what our association exits to do -- protect the biodiversity and environment on the Sunshine Coast,” said SCCA chair Jason Herz.
