The Society will ne~er sell or trade your information. It may contact you fronri-a ~m~ with information that you may find interesting. Save Burns Bog. Fight MK Delta's Industrial plans in Burns Bog. Petition published by Aliya on May 27,2016 . . . ..••

Background (Preamble):

History of MK Delta Lands Group & HoY/it happened:

In 2004, Bums Bog owners the McLaughlins were under foreclosure. The McLaughlin family asked Jack Matthews to rescue the Bog from foreclosure. He did. (J.M. Pers. Comment, 2004.) '" 1-"" Four levels of government came together to purchase Bums Bog for conservation. They Offered Jack Matthews $78 . 0"'1. r...., million for the 5,500 acres of Bums Bog. Unfortunately, Jack Matthews left $5 million on the table. .r:: z, Matthews sold 5,000 acres of Burns Bog to the four levels of government. He kept 525 acres of ecologically significant ~: land. ~ o J"J,j 1r;·2005, the. Kerbel family (Ontario) and Jack Matthews (originally from Ontario, now Dallas, Texas) created MK Delta .,i;.. ~, Lands Group Inc.

. . ~

Present day•.

MK Delta Lands Groups is applying to the Corporation of Delta for an Official Community Plan Amendment and Rezoning application at 7969 Highway 91 Connector, They want to build an industrial park on 155 acres of land located on the edge of Bums Bog (Lot 4).

The following are parts of their application:

. ?Proposed Agricultural Land Reserve Exclusion ?Official Community Plan Amendment ?Rezoning ?Regional Growth Strategy Amendment ?Sanitary Sewer Area Extension ?Development Permit ?Subdivision Application at 7696 Highway 91 Connector

In exchange for this development, they are offering Delta 328 acres of land in Bums Bog and financial contributions .

. Why should you be concerned?

::MK DELTA'S PROJECT WILL AFFECT FISH AND FISH HABITAT. - THE PROJECT HARMS INSECTS, AMPHIBIANS, REPTILES, & MAMMALS. - THERE WILL BE IMPACTS ON MIGRATORY, BREEDING, AND NESTING BIRDS. - THE PROJECT WILL LEAD TO LOSS OF WILDLIFE HABITAT. - THERE WILL BE MORTALITY OF AQUATIC WILDLIFE. - CONSTRUCTION AND POST-CONSRUCTION: VEHiCULAR COLLISIONS WITH TERRESTRIAL WILDLIFE. - PLANT SPECIES AT-RISK WILL BE DAMAGED. . .' .. - WILL RESULTS OF WILDLlFJ; MONITORING STUDIES BE KEPT FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE WITH SOUTH FRASER PERIMETER ROAD STUDIES?

Here are what others said about MK Delta Lands Group's proposal In 2012 (we successfully stopped this project): -- -235- "There is a limited amount of "green space" in the Lower Mainland that is causing detrimental effects to not only human health but to our natural environment. It would be regrettable to see anything happen to BumsBog, especially because , of how sensitive the ecosystem is. " '.-. -Olivia Woodburn

HAs someone who has lived nearby for over twenty years I am appalled to learn that MK Delta Lands Group is proposing to potentially destroy one of the greatest natural environments on the west coast of British Columbia. " -AshaYoung

"No amount of mitigation and no amount of money can offset the impacts to the site and the local and global ecosystem if the proposed development is allowed... They CAN7 re-create this bog. Please DO NOT ALLOW this development." -Diane Ryba

240 Andrew Merrill Back to signature list . -251- Once ifs gone, it can never be replaced. It's time that modem politicians protect this valuable ecosystem in perpetuity. Council has a duty to withstand economic and business interests for the long term benefits of the environment and irs citizens. Too often elected officials have relented to short-term profit incen~ves withough broad.:. consent from their constituents resulting in regrettable long term consequences. Having a legal right'to approve this proposal doesn't come with a public consent to proceed and I promise you that further resistance to the project will build to the detriment of the few that support it.

BURNS BOG: CANADIAN AND B.-C. GOVERNMENTS IGNORE OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE CONVENTION ON BIOLOGICAL DI~RSITY AND THE FRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE

The proposed development of Bums Bog-a world class wetlands- is in violation of the Convention on Biological Diversity and-the Framework Convention oil Climate Change which the Canadian governments at all levels have professed to endorse. The Convention on Biological Diversity calls for the conservation of biodiversity regardless of distinctions between publiclpriyate lands or between federallprovincialjurisdiction. The Framework Convention on Climate Change· calls for the conservation of carbon sinks. The intention of the these Conventions is to conserve biodiversity and carbon sinks in areas such as Bums Bog. . Since 1992 the Federal and B.C. governments have been derelict in the exercise of their duty to seriously conserve. biodiversity' and carbon sinks in spite of the constant rhetoric espoused by these governments .•
