Rural politicians continue to lash out at a provincial agency.
Much of Thursday’s Electoral Area Advisory Committee meeting was dominated by B.C. Timber Sales’ process for putting cutblocks up for sale.
“The process is, ‘Here is what we’re doing and that’s it.’ We want more communication with the communities,” said Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director.
Macnabb added that elected officials and residents should have a role in how areas are harvested before logging rights are put up for bid.
“People have water licenses on creeks and wells downstream. What certainty do people have that their water won’t be affected (from logging)?”
In December, EAAC was upset with BCTS not making it aware of cutblock sales near Cosens Bay and on Vernon Mountain.
