This writer wants some questions answered before a City of Burnaby plan goes ahead.
In response to the article "20 acres of Burnaby park could be converted from wetlands to waste facility," have we learned nothing from how wetlands protect existing land from flooding by absorbing excess water, acts as a natural water filtration system, and just leave the environment alone for natural species to enjoy?
The city plans to offset building this facility with a preservation strategy that they say would be "the largest program package of environmental enhancement the city has ever undertaken," preserving triple the amount of habitat as would be lost by building the facility. The city says it would create “high-value habitat” for fish, particularly salmon, in the Fraser River, as well as restore wetland environments around the city. Lots of unknowns on this project. I hope that the First Nations governments to be consulted on this project will be brave enough to say no.
