No hidden airshed agendas here
Dear editor,
Don Maroc is right! “ As long as [Crofton] mill is working for less
pollution, [let’s] work with it”. I live in Crofton. I am part of the
Crofton Airshed Citizens’ Group (CACG) Don sneered at in his column. I
want to work with the mill, and anyone else who is working for less
pollution.
The majority of CACG members live in Crofton and other areas of the
Cowichan Valley. We come from diverse backgrounds and have diverse
interests. We are certainly not “led” by “folks from Saltspring and
Cortes Islands”, although some “folks” from those areas have joined us.
They are also affected by mill fallout. We are engaged in researching
the effects of contaminants coming from the mill, and in attempting to
dialogue with mill and government officials on ways and means of
cutting the pollution so that the health of people living in the
airshed area, and of the mill workers themselves, is not adversely
affected. There is no conspiracy here, Don, except the fantasy in your
mind. Why not come to one of our meetings and become informed about
what we are doing, instead of writing columns based on misinformation?
