“We keep it dry”
BC Parks officials from the Environment Ministry got more than they bargained for on May 2 at the Seaside Centre in Sechelt: an over-flow, sometimes-noisy crowd of about 200 people. The open house kicked off a 30-day public consultation period on the future of Tetrahedron Provincial Park. The process was triggered by the Sunshine Coast Regional District’s request to dig a trench and install pipes to increase the drawdown – during drought conditions – of water from Chapman Lake, the Coast’s main water supply. Because the lake is in the park, the project would require removing the lake from the park and making it a “protected area”, or turning the entire park into protected area or a “conservancy”. During a question and answer period, it became clear that many favoured leaving the park as it is and forcing the SCRD to develop other sources of water and water storage. And many were angry that, after a lengthy wait, the open house was announced with only a few days’ notice. Parks staff told the meeting that there will be a second consultation event – it is tentatively scheduled for May 23, but no details have been announced. JANE COVERNTON PHOTO
