That attempt fell apart when the West Shore pulled its support.
Holman, who argued Salt Spring would get no benefit from the service but would have to bear some of the cost, was unsuccessful in amending the motion to remove Salt Spring from the service. “This is about priorities,” added director Barb Desjardins, mayor of Esquimalt. “We’ve heard this around the table, and we have been working on this for a long, long time.
