Hornby Antenna Siting Model requires public consultation

governance · September 9, 2023 · Hornby Island Local Trust Committee

Residents and trustees disputed Rogers’ consultation process for the proposed tower, including the timing of notice, refusal to hold face-to-face meetings and consideration of a site near the old firehall that was also discussed for affordable housing. The article reports that the Islands Trust adopted an antenna siting model on September 9, 2023 requiring extensive public consultation.

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.
