Local environmentalists and streamkeepers took to city hall on Monday — including one in an inflatable dinosaur costume — to oppose the city's planned green recycling plant at Fraser Foreshore Park.
Protesters took to Burnaby City Hall on Monday , in staunch opposition to a proposed green waste recycling plant that would sit on 21 acres of ecologically sensitive wetlands at Fraser Foreshore Park.
The city wants to use the land for a green recycling and organics processing facility, which it says would strengthen its commitment to climate action and significantly reduce its carbon emissions, but local environmentalists and residents are concerned about the proposed location on a sensitive estuary habitat for a variety of flora and fauna.
Protester Rob Carne, wearing a Byrne Creek Watershed shirt, said the GRO facility is the right project in the wrong place. The province’s AAP guidance document, Best said, was created in 2018, before changes to the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act were made in 2021. The legislation now requires enhanced measures for collecting and handling personal information.
