Newsletter # 6

ABC would like all members to be aware that sometime in late June , we have been informed there will be advance presentations to all municipalities, showing the final recommended CORRIDOR!! We will be letting everyone know about these presentations as soon as we receive the dates.

**

We must respond to PIC 2c by May 22, 2009 as requested. Please ensure that YOU have made your comments re the last PIC. Any concerns should documented at length and sent in by the May deadline.

**

Residents need to know that the final CORRIDOR will likely be presented at other PIC's in June. ABC has complained about the PIC process and we are expecting to plan a public meeting shortly after any JUNE PIC.

We have a concern involving the Environmental Inventory carried out on many properties in September 2008. One resident who had not received their requested copy last fall, recently called in to have it faxed to them. There was resistance from the company to sending that document out. Consequently, the resident suggested that they could charge the firm with trespassing, since the firms employees had agreed to the conditions set out by the owner last fall. Our member then received a copy of their Environmental Inventory.

We are very concerned about this apparent resistance to supplying landowners with copies of their own Environmental Inventory. Many landowners did request a copy and that was the condition set out for access to the land. ABC would like to know if you requested and have received a copy. If you have had any issues with the release of your Inventory to you, also please let us know.

ABC has decided to add a "Community Events" feature to our website. If there are special events about the highway issue you wish to pass on to the membership, please email the details to hwy7and8@gmail.com. A contact person and a brief description need to be provided for the website. Since all members are notified when new material goes on the website, all interested parties can get in touch with the contact person.

It is important for us to know you have received/read this Newsletter. Please reply to us.

Thanks!

Please pass this information on to any residents or neighbours who may not be receiving these email notices.
