The CVRD has an obligation to enter into agreements only with those who they have a high degree of confidence in, and the other parties ability to honour their commitments. Would the CVRD rate KIP/UBE with a high degree of confidence, and if so, what past actions would lead them to that conclusion?
So KIP withdrew his appeal of the refusal to dump treated sewage into Washer/Hart Creek. https://allthingsunionbay.com/2024/06/12/kensington-island-properties-aka-union-bay-estates-withdrew-their-appeal-of-the-refusal-to-allow-treated-sewage-discharged-into-hart-washer-creek/
There is no new application listed on the Ministry of Environment website. https://j200.gov.bc.ca/pub/ams/Default.aspx?PossePresentation=ApplicationStatusSearch&PosseMenuName=MM_Main
Saw this info on the Union Bay Bulletin Board. Why is the CVRD approving a temporary wastewater plant when there is no plan as to where the sewage will be dumped?

From what Arbour responded on the UBBB it appears he wasn’t aware of any of this and was unable to provide any answers.
I worry that this is the type of shit that allowed foreign owned, filthy ship breaking to take place on the shores of Baynes Sound. The government levels and departments are acting with tunnel vision, rubber stamping ridiculous permits without a thought to what repercussions it might cause other departments.
KIP was approved for a building permit for his Discovery Centre and cafe in 2020. The status of that permit in 2024: APPLICATION CANCELLED/WORK NOT STARTED https://mapviewer.imaptoo.ca/externalpropertyinfo/BuildingPermits.aspx Nothing gets done, it’s all bullshit keeping the community on edge constantly with empty promises and the CVRD is complicit. Depending on KIP coming through with his portion of $30 million dollars for the south sewer is gambling with the future of our community.
How many decades is the CVRD going to be lead around by the nose by this slimy developer?
