Councillor George Kalischuk cites cumulative environmental impacts and seeks research before permitting. A monitoring program tracks effects on vegetation and soil, noting current recovery rates near 99.1 to 99.4 percent.

Moberly Lake weighs options for a new community hall
Residents at a September 25 meeting considered building a new hall rather than relocating the Hudson's Hope school gym. Most feel the gym would be too small and costly to move, with concerns on location funding and design. A future meeting set for October 25 will refine plans and seek input from First Nations, the Community Association, and the Seniors Society.
