Proposed Rogers Cell Tower Faces Community Opposition

development · December 2022 · Hornby Island

A proposed Rogers cell tower on Hornby Island has faced opposition from community members who argue that the location conflicts with a planned community housing project and that the island's remoteness is a valued characteristic. The debate includes concerns about visitor convenience and the necessity of ubiquitous cell coverage.

Most crucially, the location is wrong for so many reasons, starting with the fact that there is an important community housing project already slated for that location.” — The Islands Grapevine – December 15th, 2022 (December 15th, 2022)
