Politicians in Vancouver Island’s Alberni Valley are working with local stakeholders to bring a ship recycling and dismantling hub to the area. As Claire Palmer reports, it comes as B.C’s marine industry faces up to 900 aging vessels that will need to be disposed of soon.

EXCELLENT IDEA INDEED. THANKS M.P. GORD JOHNS
(THE BEST, IF NOT ‘THE BEST, M.L.A. WE HAVE HAD FOR MANY, MANY YEARS!)
BUT SADLY IT’S A LONG, LONG WAY ROUND, & BACK, TO PORT ALBERNI/ CENTRAL V.I. FROM THE SALISH SEA,THEN BACK ON TO THE COASTAL STEEL MILLS IN SEATTLE BY SEA, YET ALONE BY THE’ ‘INFAMOUS’ WEST COAST ROAD SYSTEM…NO RAIL EITHER?
THE CO$T OF A LARGE DRY DOCK DI$MANTLING SY$TEM TO BE BUILT WOULD BE VERY CHALLENGING. ALSO THE ENVIRONMENTAL CO$TS NEED TO BE ADRESSED FIR$T..
LET’S NOT GET CARRIED AWAY BY THIS ANNOUNCEMENT, & IT’S NOT JUST A **RED HERRING** TO ALLOW ”D.W.R.TO KEEP ON POISONING & POLLUTING!!
. IT’S THANKSGIVING TIME,
TIME TO GIVE, ”’ D.W.R.”’ THE BOOT…!
semper progredians ..”yes we can & yes we will” Make D.W.R.History…& soon….?
