The We Wai Kai Nation is set to challenge the board decision by the Strathcona Regional District (SRD) not to allow rezoning for scallop farming near Drew Harbour. Instead the band will take their application to the provincial and federal government for approval, stating:
“We’ve brought the matter to the attention of the province and the federal government. They can override the (regional) district and we’ll continue, business as usual. If the response isn’t favourable, we will still be moving ahead.”
-Cape Mudge Band Chief Ralph Dick
