TOWN OF GIBSONS ORDERED TO RELEASE ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION ABOUT “THE GEORGE.”

The BC Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner (OIPC) has ordered the Town of Gibsons to release information pertaining to environmental impact and harm mitigation strategies for the George Hotel and Residences project.
Order F20-31 was released on July 13, 2020. In it, OIPC adjudicator Ian C. Davis explains that the information requested by the GABC Society is contained in nine peer reviews prepared by professional engineers hired by the Town to review reports submitted by ‘The George’ developer, as well as one responsive report provided by the developer’s consultant.
These critical technical reports have never been seen by the public, nor by the elected decision makers who approved the development permits for the project.
