An update from the Future of Howe Sound Society

Alberta Company planning on Strip Mining Howe Sound
Future of Howe Sound Society

In our last newsletter we shared with you the possibility of Burnco Gravel Products creating an ill-advised strip mine for gravel on top of a salmon bearing stream on McNab Creek at the north end of Howe Sound. The Future of Howe Sound Society have just been informed that Burnco has submitted their final project description and the public have until February 3rd to submit their views on this project to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency.

Dear Residents,

The broken water main on Bayview Road has now been fixed. The water supply to the area has been turned back on. You may experience cloudy water and it is highly recommended that you run the outside taps for 10 minutes to clear the pipes.

Also, please use caution when driving up on Bayview due to an excavator being partially parked on the roadway.

Thank you for your patience and consideration in this matter.

Sincerely,

Chuck Partridge
Manager, Public Works

Would any Lions Bay resident or Anvil Island land owner please have a look at the ship scrapping operation at the North West end of Anvil Island and take pictures and send them into www.lionsbay.net?

Make time for the timeless!

A large bear with a yellow tag in one of its ears has been accessing garbage and compost over the past three weeks.  Now, recently, the same bear has broken into a shed where garbage was stored.

Please ensure that all garbage is securely stored in a garbage container that has a tight, waterproof cover, and that the garbage container is securely housed in a structure that is inaccessible to wildlife.   Residents without a secure place to store garbage can purchase bear-resistant containers at the Village Office, which still has bear resistant containers available for purchase.

Please ensure that if you are composting, that you please adhere to the suggestions laid out in the ‘5 Simple Steps to Composting in Bear Country’ brochure, which can be picked up in the Village Office.

If you do see bear activity, please contact the Conservation Officers Service RAPP line (1-877-952-7277), or the Village Office (604-921-9333).

Thank you,

The Village Office
