Community debates Y2Y plan in region opposition forms
Chetwynd District and nearby municipalities oppose the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative citing potential economic impacts. Chetwynd Chamber of Commerce seeks more information as Stu Garland and Wayne Sawchuk of the Environmental Society present slides on LRMP style planning and local job implications. Sawchuk emphasizes balanced development, eco tourism, and local control with outside parties steering nothing within prescribed boundaries. Contact details and a prepared informational booklet are offered for residents seeking answers.
