I am outraged by this development. I am suspicious of V's motives.
Everything I am reading about the Atwell mayoral regime and his attempts to support Vs projects after getting a large donation from him in the campaign, also strongly suggests this guy needs to go ASAP. He appears to essentially be a plant for developers to have free action in Saanich. Just as we get rid of Harper we have a new local version IMO.
As for the specifics of the buffalo herd I am also wondering if they will be free range or in a feed lot. If the latter there could be a lot of buffalo excrement etc and the air quality near the hospital is about to drop significantly. I believe the area being used will come to within 150 metres of the hospital.
What is also appalling is that as Saanich residents we have to sit and watch Mr V and his minions do this. But he is apparently within his rights given the current rules in Saanich. I am suspicious that it may be simply a way to show he can do whatever he wants with his land and perhaps a reaction to the failure of the CRD idea.
Weirdly I found the Vs listed as supporters of the Forest Action Group opposing development at Bear Mountain that would take out forest areas. Maybe they can be convinced to be true to these values with their own land?
Here is the list if anyone wants to contact him and ask.
