Re: “Province finds first foundations at Jumbo Glacier Resort not compliant”
At this point the environmental assessment office’s official statement is the foundations of both the day lodge and a service building are in an avalanche zone, putting them in non-compliance with item No. 36 of their temporary certificate.
Glacier Resorts Ltd. is allowed to request a reprieve to make various remediating adjustments within an undefined time frame. Environment Minister Mary Polak is obliged to decide if a “substantial start” has been made.
The EcoJustice team working for Jumbo Wild says they have good material for suing the government, as does the resort proponent.
