Clarification on Railway Ties, Real Issues

The Chamber’s information forum on Aboriginal Cogeneration Corp’s proposed project

 

The Kamloops Chamber of Commerce is hosting their upcoming forum in response to widespread member and community requests that Aboriginal Cogeneration Corp (ACC) specifically consult, explain and answer questions about the project and that the Ministry of Environment also provide information and answer questions.   

Invited are ACC president Kim Sigurdson, his consulting engineer and two representatives from the Ministry of Environment. The format is not intended to be a debate, but a neutral setting where people can freely ask questions about the project.  There have already been a number of rallies, consultations and experts speaking about the project and the science.
 
To be clear, the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce has not taken a position on the project.   The role of the Chamber forum is simply to provide a neutral opportunity for our members and the public to obtain information on an important community issue that has up to now been unavailable.

We are strongly encouraging those members of the public seeking more information about the project, proponent and the Ministry of Environment approval to attend the forum and have their questions answered.
