Update for the South Campbell Heights Land Use Pla Update for the South Campbell Heights Land Use Plan:⁠ ⁠ This MONDAY, July 26th at 2 PM, the Surrey City Council is holding its final hearing.⁠ ⁠ We’re in a crucial time window in this development. At this stage, we ask residents anywhere in Metro Vancouver to voice their opposition in 3 ways:⁠ ⁠ RIGHT NOW (until July 26, 11 AM): Submit written opposition―only takes 5 minutes!⁠ ⁠ And preferably for community stakeholders (Surrey residents, landowners, or employers):⁠ ⁠ On MONDAY (8-11 AM): Register to speak in the hearing via telephone⁠ ⁠ ON MONDAY (8:30-11 AM): If you do not wish to speak live, phone in to record your “vote”⁠ ⁠ We urge supporters to act on BOTH options 1 and 3, and to plan for 2 if you are able. Details on these actions and reasons for this opposition can be found on the petition page (link in bio).⁠ ⁠ By rezoning agricultural land towards light industrial use, this plan risks 660 acres of sensitive wildlife habitat and the health of the Tatalu (Little Campbell) River watershed.⁠ If this plan is approved by Council and passed to Metro Vancouver, all records of opposition will be forwarded for consideration, so your voice can continue to make a difference.⁠ ⁠.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #ARocha #ARochaCanada #CreationCare #Conservation #GodsCreation #EnvironmentalStewardship #Stewardship #Christian #Earth #SustainableAgriculture #Education #OutdoorEducation
