PUBLIC HEARING AND PUBLIC MEETING REGARDING:

1775 Bellevue Aveune/1760 Marine Drive
(Hollybur Plaza)?

PLEASE NOTE - DUE TO A NOATH SHURE NEWS
PUBLICATION ERROR, THE DATES FOR THE PUBLIC |
HEARING AND PUBLIC MEETING HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO |

Overview,

There are more than 250 liquefied
natural gas (LNG) tanks worldwide
— similar to the one Westcoast
Energy has proposed to build in the
Sunshine Coast Regional District.

When it comes to safety, the record
is clear: In the last 50 years, no
member of the public has been
harmed by an incident at an LNG
facility. We have researched every
incident involving liquefied natural
gas and the industry has proven to
have an exemplary safety record.

Building on this record, Westcoast's
proposed facility will incorporate
comprehensive safety systems and
practices. Employees will receive
extensive training to ensure the
sale operation of the site. Access
will be limited to an existing
logging road tocated in an area
previously logged.

MONDAY, 1998 JANUARY 26.

What about an earthquake?
independent studies indicate that
the proposed site, 7.5 km inland
from Howe Sound, has very dense
soil. There is ac information to
suggest high risk to locai faulting.
Seismic resistance is a
fundamental design criteria for the
facility. We believe the storage
facility can operate safely once it is
built and over the long-term.

if you would like to learn more
about our proposed project, you are
welcome to attend our Open House
on January 17, 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m., at
Gleneagles Golf Club. Or contact us
