Sunday March 1st, 11:00 am
Quadra Community Centre
Interested in Plutonic's proposed run-of-the-river power project in the Bute Intel?
Representatives from the BC Environmental Assessment Office will be on Quadra to receive public input. This meeting is designed to receive input from Quadra, Cortes and the Outer Islands. Shuttle service will be provided from Heriot Bay, so car pool to the ferry and walk on. I urge all who are interested in our broader region and the politics of power generation to make the trip.
