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.
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.

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)
