(D refines
its watershed

access

ENVIRONMENTAL
ACTIVISTS who have been
pushing for more public access
to the Capilano and Seymour
watersheds are getting a break.

By Layne Christensen
Community Reperter

The Greater Vancouver Regicnal
District (GVRD) restricts access to
the areas “to prevent contamination
of the water sources,” according to a
water committee report. Recently,

“- public ‘access has been restricted to

.GVRD-escorted bus tours.
Unescorted visitors to the area are
considered trespassers.

But a motion put forward by
Delta Mayor Beth Johnson and sup-

“ported at a GVRD board of directors
meeting Sepi,. 29 has expanded
- access to include “groups and indi-
viduals with specific, pre-determined

purposes.”

That would seem like good news:

for organizations such as the Society

policy

Promoting Environmental
Conservation (SPEC). The group is
critical of the GVRD's logging prac-
tices in the watersheds, but SPEC
president Paul Hundal remains skep-
tical.

“{t's yet to be seen whether or not
it will be implemented,” he said.

Meanwhile, the GVRD approved
a water committee recommendation
to send a letter to the Ministry of
Municipal Affairs asking for the
legal power to apprehend trespassers.

North Vancouver District council-
lor Janice Harris, who resigned from
the water committee last week, said
the water committee continues to
make it unnecessarily difficult for
groups like SPEC to gain access to
the restricted areas.

“They really don’t want them in
there. They see SPEC as the enemy
camp.” said Harris.

Hurdal maintains. that public
monitoring is “absolutely necessary

for the integrity of the system.

“If the politicians have nothing to
hide, they should be letting us in.”
