Hudson's Hope opposes dams on Peace River in council vote
A council meeting last night approved a resolution opposing any dams on the Peace River that would permanently flood parts of Hudson's Hope. The decision sparked a sharp vote with Mayor Croockewit arguing against the resolution citing bleak prospects without more power. Aldermen stressed the need to push back on Hydro while avoiding irreparable property loss. The meeting also convened a $5,000 loan to the community hall society to cover December wages, pending budget adjustments for the 1977 year. A water emergency plan directed the hauler to add a second truck within a month and use backups from nearby communities if needed.
