There’s no more time to delay Ajax decision
KAMLOOPS — Kamloops City Council candidate Kevin Krueger wants to know why Council is in a rush to make a decision on whether it supports the proposed Ajax mine.
The Ajax question has been hanging over Kamloops for the past six years — it’s hardly been a rushed process. Krueger need only look at the calendar for the answer to why time is of the essence.
On March 18, 2016, SLR Consulting presented council with its preliminary findings, raising many questions and highlighting numerous deficiencies in the 18,000-page application submitted by KGHM and its consultants.
On May 4 last year, KGHM Ajax asked for a suspension in the process so it could answer further questions about the project, including from First Nations.
