Sea to Sky MLA calls for halt to LNG expansion over health concerns JENNIFER THUNCHER Squamish Chief
NIGHT MARKET Last Saturday featured a market doubleheader as the traditional morning Farmers Market was followed up with a Night Market. The evening featured many of the popular vendors plus an assortment of foods. There was also live music throughout which eventually broke out into a lively line dancing display. As the sun set on the Night Market, it was a reminder that the Farmers Market is also approaching its final weekend of the season. Be sure to stop by Bowen Island Community School this Saturday starting at 10 am for a final shot at local foods, crafts, goods and more! / Alex Kurial photo 1557 WHITESAILS DRIVE - LISTED AT $1,550,000 Perfect Family Home on a Private View Acreage
Following a newly released research study on the impact of flaring at liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants, West Vancouver–Sea to Sky MLA Jeremy Valeriote called on the provincial government to stop the expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure, including LNG Canada Phase 2, Cedar LNG, Ksi Lisims, and the under-construction Woodfibre LNG. “This government has sacrificed climate, air and water quality, ecosystem integrity, and Indigenous title and rights considerations to push LNG projects forward,” said Valeriote, in a news release. “It’s now obvious they are fine to sacrifice the health of British Columbians. The premier needs to get real about LNG flaring, and include it in emissions reporting and environmental assessments.” The findings on flaring were recently published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology. Flaring at LNG export facilities is when the plant is burning excess methane — the main component of natural gas — as it’s processed into a liquid for transport overseas. CONTINUED ON PAGE 3
