Providing he still has a job on October 21st, Fisheries and Oceans Minister Johnathan Wilkinson will have some reading to catch up on, with North Coast Regional District the latest government body to send off a correspondence to the Liberal cabinet minister.
At their September Board meeting, Regional District officials noted that they had resolved to support signing a letter to the Minister, requesting that the Federal Department conduct a study to identify scientific causes for the fishing related concerns in the area and to identify the underlying causes for the identified impacts.
The move towards the letter campaign came following a request from UFAWU-Unifor leader Joy Thorkelson who had forwarded a letter to the Board, seeking their support in their engagement wth the Federal government towards disaster Assistance for Commercial Salmon Fishermen.
In other notes from the September meeting, the Board also provided for the formal decision to bring an end to the Transfer Station recycling options for the Kaien Road Recycling Centre in Prince Rupert.
Other topics taken on at the September meeting included appointments of members to the Haida Gwaii Recreation Commission and Regional Recycling Advisory Committee, as well as the adoption of the 2019-2022 Strategic Plan
