Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar says despite the pause in the government’s environmental review, SLR Consulting has remained working on they city’s review of Ajax’s application. now that the EAO has re-started the clock, city staff and council will work with the private consulting firm to ensure they’re up to date on where the process is at.

“City staff is working with SLR and the EAO to get a better handle on all the dates and timelines,” Milobar told CFJC Today. “They expect by April 25th to give a report to council.”
