Whistler companies looking to purchase carbon credits to offset their corporate emissions will soon have a locally-grown option. The Cheakamus Community Forest (CCF) is breaking new ground with its efforts to reduce its reliance on logging for revenue
The Squamish and Lil wat First Nations have taken legal steps to overturn approval of Whistler s Official Community Plan by the provincial government.
The two First Nations filed the joint motion this week with B.C. s Supreme Court to conduct a judicial review of the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Bill Bennett s recent decision to approve the OCP.
Bennett provided the approval, which is needed for the Resort Municipality of Whistler to adopt the bylaw, before the provincial election began. The judicial review is based on the push to get the OCP approved before the writ was dropped and the campaign started.
