Open House: standing room only - and they won't stand for it

WestPac LNG's first Open House on Texada Island, held Monday, September 10, in Van Anda, was a standing room only affair, and the strongest message of the event was loud opposition to the project.

Even more people came to the second Open House, on Tuesday in Gillies Bay. And again, a resounding opposition to the company's proposed LNG receiving terminal and gas-fired generation project.

Asked point blank if the community decided against it, would the company withdraw the project, the answer was anything but point blank, but seemed to be "no."
