Concerns Raised Over 5G Technology Deployment on Hornby Island

development · January 2023 · Hornby Island

Hornby residents and trustees disputed the consultation process for the proposed Rogers tower, including the timing of notices, the refusal of face-to-face meetings and the handling of the application under federal ISED protocols. The article reported that Rogers intended to support 5G technology, while residents raised concerns about the site and potential impacts.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
