Save Razor Point's Water The Province and CRD are draining this vital pond; for the last 2 weeks have been draining this entity with the goal to dump 82%, or approximately 2.5 million gallons out of 3 million gallons of this precious freshwater into Browning Harbour on Pender Island and then leave a 3 ft diameter culvert in place, draining many more millions of gallons of freshwater into the ocean every year, rather than retaining it and allowing it to slowly recharge the aquifers of this area. Pender Island gets very little rainfall in the summer and ever drop is precious to us; we abide by the rule of if it's yellow let it mellow, save our rinse water for watering plants and participate in NavyMilitary showers. It is strongly feared that by draining this pond:
Pleas to the local and provincial governments have repeatedly fallen on deaf ears, with the Province/CRD maintaining an absurdly stubborn resolve to drain rather than retain the pond. We are asking the government to stop work this work, reassess the risk they take as a result of ignoring their own declared climate emergency.

Please donate to GoFundMe campaign to support Gardom Pond Legal Fund!
We have obtained legal counsel and West Coast Environmental Law has agreed to review our request for emergency legal aid. We are calling for a full stop to the decommissioning of the dam, and a full public consultation to begin. However, this legal aid will not cover the full cost of representation. Please donate to this go fund me campaign to help save our island's precious ecosystem and water source. We're living in a climate change emergency - donating to this cause is one way to directly make an impact in helping protect our environment. This is our last chance. |
