T

he District of Squamish council remains undecided about FortisBC’s temporary use permit, which would allow the establishment of a workers’ accommodation lodge near the new Capilano University campus. Concerns over the proposed facility’s close proximity to the university campus and dormitories sparked significant conversations about safety at the committee of the whole meeting on July 2. Councillors voted unanimously to bring the workers’ accommodation TUP back to a second committee of the whole meeting after more information is gathered. They also want to hold a public hearing on the matter in the near future. Mayor Armand Hurford expressed concern that the lodge that would house Eagle Mountain Pipeline workers would be only a” 100-metre walk” from the campus.
