War of words heats up as Jumbo Resort decision nears Proponent, opponents dispute daylodge location C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
As proponents and opponents alike await the word from the provincial Environmental Assessment Office as to whether construction on the proposed Jumbo Glacier Resort has substantially started, neither side is backing away from commenting on the issue. Columbia River Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald, long a vocal opponent of Jumbo, has issued a press release stating that the state of construction of the Jumbo Glacier Resort continues to tell a story of “incompetence, sloppiness and amateurishness”. “A few weeks ago, the public discovered that the BC Liberal government had allowed the proponent of Jumbo Glacier Resort to lay the foundation of their day lodge in a Class 4 avalanche path,” said Macdonald. “Now we have discovered that not only is the day lodge foundation situated in a dangerous location, the day lodge has been placed outside the boundaries of the area established for the resort.” However, Tom Oberti with Pheidias Project Management Corp. the project manager for Jumbo, refutes that claim.
