One Common Councillor making a motion tonight to see what the city can do to prevent hydrofracking.
Ward 4 Councillors David Merrithew and Ray Strowbridge have been approached by people who are concerned about the safety of their water supply, after there’s been surveying activity spotted on the east side.
Merrithew tells CHSJ news he has no problem with surveying, but if hydrofacking is being looked into beside water supplies he wants to prevent it.
If it turns out only the province has the powers to prevent hydrofacking, he says they’ll take it to the province.
