Wetlands Policy Ready To Be Unveiled

The new provincial wetlands policy will be spelled out tomorrow morning at the Lily Lake Pavilion by Environment Minister Margaret Ann Blaney.

She travelled around the province to hear what people had to say and tells CHSJ News it was tough to find the right balance between protecting the environment and not hindering development.

Without being specific about what the policy is, Blaney believes most people in the province will be satisfied with it.

She vows there will be no reduction in the amount of wetlands which are considered essential in the prevention of flooding.
