IN CAMERA That the public be excluded from attendance at the meeting in accordance with Sections 90 (1) (a) “personal information about an identifiable individual…”, (f) “law enforcement…”, (i) “the receipt of advice that is subject to solicitor-client privilege, including communications necessary for that purpose” ADJOURNMENT ANNEX A May 5, 2014 Sunshine Coast Regional District, 1975 Field Road Sechelt, BC Deputy Corporate Officer, Sherry Reid Email: [email protected] To: Chair Garry Nohr and Board of Directors, In follow up to my recent communication regarding the potential LNG Supertanker traffic should the proposal for a floating LNG plant be approved for the Woodfibre site in Howe Sound, I am asking you and the Directors to consider the attached draft letter. The purpose is to inform the appropriate federal, provincial and local governments that the resolution supported in 2008 and passed by the UBCM in 2008 (please reference UBCM text below) to ban LNG tanker traffic in the Georgia/Haro Straits is still in effect. The only thing that has changed is that the LNG Supertankers will come from Woodfibre in Howe Sound, where we are focusing our efforts, rather than Westpac in Texada. The result, however, is the same: LNG Supertankers in the Georgia/Haro Straits. It is important that the decision makers at both levels of government understand local governments along the shipping route still feel the same. The request for a ban on LNG Supertankers in our waters still stands and is supported no matter where the tankers come from. Please change the letter as you deem appropriate and send to the Premier of BC, the Prime Minister of Canada and copy to the Provincial and Federal Ministers of Environment. I would be most appreciative if you could also copy me. Thank you for any consideration you give this issue. Working together with all the Regional Districts and community groups I hope we will be as successful as you were in the past. Best regards Eoin Finn, BSc, PhD, MBA, CMC Phone: 604‐715‐7991 Email: [email protected] Biography: http://members.shaw.ca/efinn/ejfcv.html UBCM Resolution (2008) WHEREAS the waters of Georgia and Malaspina Straits provide a vital habitat for diverse bird and fish species, a corridor for commercial and recreational marine traffic and an attraction for upland settlement; AND WHEREAS WestPac LNG is soliciting interest to build an LNG import facility and associated 600MW gas‐fired electricity generating plant on Texada Island, which will involve the passage of a significant number of LNG tankers in the Georgia Strait, which will interfere with existing marine traffic, put at risk these ecologically important and sensitive inland waters, and negatively impact upland development along this route: THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the UBCM urge the federal government to ban the passage of LNG tankers in the waters of the Malaspina, Georgia, Juan de Fuca and Haro Straits, and Boundary Pass. PLEASE PROTECT HOWE SOUND AND GEORGIA/STRAIT WATERS Page 1 1 May , 2014 The Right Honourable Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Office of the Prime Minister 80 Wellington Street Ottawa, ON K1A 0A2 The Honourable Christy Clark Premier of British Columbia Box 9041, Station PROV GOVT Victoria, BC Cc: Federal l Minister of Environment Provincial Minister of Environment Re: The prospect of LNG Supertanker traffic in the Howe Sound and Georgia, Juan de Fuca and Haro Strait waters should the Woodfibre Natural Gas Ltd. Proposal for a floating LNG plant at the Woodfibre location in Howe Sound be approved. In 2008, Powell River Regional District adopted a resolution, supported by Vancouver Island Regional Districts and the Islands Trust, in support of the implementation of a federal government ban on the passage of LNG tankers in the waters of the Malaspina, Georgia, Juan de Fuca and Haro Straits. This resolution, subsequently passed by the Union of BC Municipalities and other Vancouver Island and mainland communities impacted by the WestPac LNG proposal of the day, is still in effect. The only change is that the LNG Supertankers will be coming from Howe Sound rather than Texada. The result, however, is the same: LNG Supertankers in the Georgia, Juan de Fuca and Haro Straits waters. Please accept this letter as an indicator of our support for a ban on LNG tanker traffic through our waters. LNG Supertankers navigating the busy waters of Howe Sound and the Georgia/Haro Straits will, as stated in the UBCM resolution , “interfere with existing marine traffic, put at risk these ecologically important and sensitive inland waters and negatively impact upland development along the route.” Though incidents are rare in the industry, rare things occur somewhere and when they do, the result is catastrophic if LNG is involved.
