One Cowichan Statement on Enbridge Decision

“We join thousands of British Columbians in expressing our disappointment that our voices were not heard by the National Energy Board, and now pledge to exercise democracy more directly here at home.

The recent commemoration of the 50^th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination made me think of where I was on that day.  I was a 13 year-old student walking around Lansdowne Jr. High School at recess when the principal came on the PA and broke the news. 

It is a good time of year to look around us and realize what a beautiful place we live in.  The recent stretch of beautiful weather just underlines this feeling and it is even sweeter this year because of the rains we got in September.  Our river and lake are in great shape, in stark contrast to last year at this time.  Those of us in the Stewardship community can relax and enjoy this fine weather because the September gift of water has filled our coffers and there is plenty of water in the river for the returning salmon.
