On May 12, Rocky View County council voted 6-3 to withdraw its opposition to the Springbank Off-Stream Reservoir (SR1).
The official letter notifying the Natural Resources Conservation Board (NRCB) of this change states:
I write to you on behalf of Rocky View County. Rocky View County hereby withdraws all of its objections in relation to the Spring Bank Off-Stream Reservoir project proceeding through the regulatory process. Should you have any questions, please contact me at (403) 880-7062 or email me at GBoehlke@rockyview.ca
Rocky View County formally opposed the project in December 2018, a decision that was met with frustration from Mayor Nenshi, then MLA-Calgary-Elbow Greg Clark, and many more.
Given the stream of good news recently, it appears Transportation is doing an excellent job addressing stakeholder concerns. Great work for which we are tremendously thankful!
