  • May 1997 Hon
    1 May 1997 Hon. Sergio Marchi, Minister of Environment House of Commons Ottawa, Ont. K1A 0A6 Dear Mr. Marchi: I write to draw your attention to the permit issued on April 9 under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, Part VI (Ocean Disposal), Section 73(1), to allow the ​disposal of the decommissioned warship HMCS Saskatchewan in waters off Snake Island, near Nanaimo, British Columbia. By this letter we wish to serve formal Notice of Objection to the issuance of this permit, as per section 89(3) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, and respectfully ask that you immediately establish a Board of Review regarding the disposal of the HMCS Saskatchewan, prior to its scheduled disposal date. This matter is urgent, as the ship is scheduled to be sunk on June 14. The Georgia Strait Alliance is a coalition of about 50 environmental, recreational, labor, commercial marine and other organizations founded in 1990 to protect, preserve and restore the marine environment and ecological well­being of Georgia Strait and its adjoining waters. Our members have expressed their concerns many times regarding the deliberate dumping of old military ships to create artificial reefs for divers. Our reasons for calling for a Board of Review for the HMCS Saskatchewan ocean disposal permit are as follows: 1. The proposed site for the HMCS Saskatchewan lies within the jurisdiction of the elected local government, the Islands Trust. The Islands Trust is the duly elected government for the Gulf Islands of British Columbia, responsible for land­use and amenity planning within the Trust area. Its Policy Statement Bylaw No.

  • Right-To-Farm Legislation in British Columbia
    Right-to-Farm Legislation in British Columbia Melina Laverty University of Toronto Law School Prepared for Environment Probe 2008 Introduction As their popular name suggests, “right-to-farm” laws are a form of statutory protection of farmers.1 While laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, their main purpose is to protect farmers from lawsuits, primarily those based on nuisance. The first such legislation was enacted in the United States in 1963 to protect feedlots in Kansas. By 1994, every state had enacted some form of right-to-farm law.2 Canadian provinces followed their lead, and eventually every province across Canada implemented some form of right-to-farm law [see Table 1]. British Columbia enacted its first right-to-farm law in 1989. Table 1. Current Right-to-Farm Legislation in Canada Province Statute Alberta Agricultural Operation Practices Act, R.S.A. 2000, c.

  • 401 Main St., Mceachern Did What His Bosses Wanted
    401 Main St., McEachern did what his bosses wanted. He slammed Natives with his "decision" in one of the longest and most costly land claims cases in the recorded history of Canada, telling them they should just assimilate themselves into the mainstream. The judge took a giant step backward going against many precedent-setting victories of Nacives. The ~itskan-~et'suwet'anpeople ex- pected a victory and objective obser- vors agreed. McEachern chose to feed their rage, to lecture about ample op- portunities for getting off reserves and just 'give up'. To him, thousands of years of Native history, tradition and belief weren't worth a dam....the Oka standoff is meaningless ...legal recognition of Native rights irrelev- ant. McEachern had his orders.
