Public Meeting delivers resounding NO to WestPac LNG

A public meeting at the Town Centre Hotel in Powell River on Monday (October 1) delivered a resounding rejection of a proposal by WestPac LNG, a Calgary company, to build a LNG terminal and gas-fired generation plant on the north end of Texada Island.

It was standing room only as over 250 people told others in their community, media and local politicians, that these projects were not welcome here.

WestPac declined an invitation to be present.
