\nA weekly roundup of noteworthy news in municipalities across B.C.<\/em><\/p>\n

Although it took 143 years, the BC government is finally trying to make amends with the Hesquiaht First Nation<\/a> in Port Alberni for the wrongful hanging of one of their ancestors, John Anietsachist.<\/p>\n

Closer to home, the B.C. government is also under the hot seat for violating the terms of its environmental approval<\/a> for construction of the $1.2-billion South Fraser Perimeter Road.<\/p>\n

The Port Mann bridge saga continues with the recent announcement that it will officially open with eight lanes<\/a> on Saturday Dec. 1 with half-price tolls of $1.50 for regular cars will kick in a week later on Dec. 8. So, we’ll finally be able assess its real impact on the gridlock it was meant to alleviate and its impact, if any, on untolled crossings.<\/p>\n

The Nordic ski season is officially getting underway in the North Okanagan<\/a> as more than 20 kilometres of cross-country ski trails officially open Friday at Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre. I’m sure locals can’t wait for the same!<\/p>\n

As the old saying goes: the more things change, the more they stay the same. Out came the usual arguments against making proposed amendments to White Rock\u2019s single-family zoning bylaw<\/a> on Tuesday to limit the permitted floor areas. Oddly enough. the proposed changes were made due to the community outrage at the $2-million, 14,000-square-foot home under construction at the corner of Cliff Avenue and Kent Street. One can’t win\u2026.<\/p>\n

This proposed $100-million casino in South Surrey continues to cause a stir with its fair share of proponents<\/a> and, of course, their counterparts<\/a>.<\/p>\n
