Be heard on Metro Vancouver’s plan to locate an industrial barge terminal at Iona Island!
The location of a proposed barge terminal for the $10 billion Iona Island Wastewater Treatment Plant will be crucial.
We do not oppose the plant upgrade.
But wherever the barge terminal is located for construction deliveries, dust, light, and noise pollution must not create health hazards - nor must the plant create dangerous conditions for marine traffic on the Fraser River’s north arm.
A barge terminal planned for Iona Island must be positioned to minimize health concerns from air pollution, noise pollution and light pollution from affecting people on, and near, the north shore of the Fraser River’s north arm.
Hear more about this proposed barge terminal and get the facts on how the placement of it can impact the health of you and your family for years to come. Help protect our communities from these health risks.
