• “With all due respect, your government's latest window dressing of protecting 54 iconic trees across the province with a 1 hectare buffer zone does a disservice... We demand that you join the park up with Schmidt Creek Valley... Our organization urges you to make an executive decision and suspend this timber sale in the Schmidt.” — The Islands Grapevine – July 25th, 2019 (July 25th, 2019)
