Province taking comments on proposed park
On Sunday, May 26, the Meadowbrook Community Association (MCA) hosted a celebration of the preservation of Cherry Creek Falls. More than 100 people joined in the festivities.
Now that mining has been prohibited on the 400+ acre former mineral tenure, the Regional District of East Kootenay can pursue creation of a regional day use only park.
In the photo, Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) Electoral Area E director Jane Walter, former candidate for the BC Liberals in Columbia River – Revelstoke Doug Clovechok and MCA President Bob Johnstone celebrate the occasion underneath the sign proclaiming the site of the future park.
Johnstone noted the contribution of Clovechok and Walters. “Doug’s strong advocacy was essential in getting the province to prohibit mining in this area; and Jane’s full support was needed to convince the RDEK to create the regional park.”
The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations is soliciting comments from the public about the proposed park.
If you wish to express an opinion you may make written submissions by June 19 to: FrontCounter BC, 1902, Theatre Road Cranbrook, BC V1C 7G1 or [email protected] .
