From the Community Forum: Port Expansion Online Petition
Posted by prvoters under: Forum Posts; Online Petition .
In an effort to persuade the federal government to do the right thing, we have set up an online petition against port expansion plans on Roberts Bank. Further port development was met with disapproval 25 years ago by a previous government. The current government has decided to ignore the past recommendations and is turning a blind-eye to some extremely serious issues. The endangered orca whales; the Fraser River Estuary; a globally significant migratory bird route; the industrialization of prime agricultural lands; and the thousands of citizens forced to breathe in port-incurred air pollutants that are linked to lung cancer and asthma are just some of the concerns that have been tossed aside to pave the way for port development. We invite you to stand beside us and tell the federal government that “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH”. There should be no more port expansion on Roberts Bank.
