Windsor city council to discuss Capital Power proposal for 2 natural gas turbines

Capital Power is adding two natural gas turbines to their east Windsor plant to meet anticipated growing energy demands. The Ontario Clean Air Alliance says the turbines are 'dirty energy' and will push industry away from the city.

The dirt on dirt: Building boom ramps up soil dumping in rural areas, causing pushback

It’s a question that’s of increasing concern to both the construction industry and residents of the rural areas where much of the uncontaminated soil or “clean fill” gets dumped on private properties sometimes in such massive amounts that it alters the landscape. People who moved to Metchosin or Shawnigan Lake or the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area for a more bucolic existence now find themselves dealing with big-city problems like dust, traffic noise and window-rattling vibrations as hundreds of trucks rumble past, loaded with dirt from construction sites in Victoria, Colwood or Langford. Rural residents worry that all that extra soil will spill onto neighbouring properties, pollute aquifers or clog creeks and streams with silt.

Debate over Boys and Girls Club in Metchosin heats up

VICTORIA Neither side is backing down over the potential sale of a large parcel of rural land owned by the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Victoria. The debate was sparked early this year after the children s organization filed an application to sell a 40-acre parcel of its 98-acre property in Metchosin. The Boys and Girls Club says that the cost of maintaining such a large area of land is significantly higher than how much it is actually used, and wants to sell the parcel and use the funds to reinvest in its programs. When the organization announced the potential sale, the District of Metchosin and many local community members were shocked by the decision, saying that it went against the club s history of conservation and supporting youth through outdoor programs.
