It’s time to take the fight against the sprawling mega-development along the Juan de Fuca trail to a public hearing. Marine Trail Holdings' rezoning application for a 260 unit timeshare resort has been pushed through the first and second reading by a subcommittee of the Capital Regional District board.

Now it’s up to us to show up and demand that this destructive development never passes a third reading.

On Sept 6th and 7th we are looking to fill the room at Edward Milne Community School. We need to take a stand for the things we all love about the west coast - our wilderness areas, our wildlife, and our world class recreational activities.

If this proposed resort is built it means 20 years of development in the heart of BC's third most popular provincial park. It means acres of sprawl alongside an awe-inspiring hiking trail that gives people access to our spectacular west coast. It also means habitat fragmentation for the region's bears, cougars and elk.

Please join us on the first night of the hearing for a rally, a barbeque and a public meeting.

We are organizing carpooling and buses to make it easy to attend! Please contact our office at (250)388-9292 or fill out this online form to rsvp.

When: Tuesday September 6th from 5-10pm
Where: Edward Milne School, 6218 Sooke Road

We have succeeded in getting this issue on the radar of the whole CRD board. We have written letters. We have made phone calls.

Now it is time to show up. See you there, and tell your friends!
