Kamloops council ups Ajax consultant budget, expresses frustration
KAMLOOPS — Kamloops council is giving its consultant some more money to review the KGHM-Ajax copper-gold mine proposal, but some around the council table are expressing frustration at how long the environmental assessment process is taking.
Council voted unanimously this afternoon to up the budget for SLR Consulting by $200,000.
Public Works and Utilities Director Jen Fretz says the job is half done.
