Environmentalists renew calls for opposition to development in Clayoquot Sound

TOFINO, B.C. — Some of B.C.’s best-known environmentalists and their supporters gathered Saturday to protest against future development plans for Vancouver Island’s Clayoquot Sound. But aboriginal leaders said their people should have the right to decide about the future of their traditional territories.
Federal Green Party deputy leader Adriane Carr and the Watershed Watch Salmon Society’s Vicky Husband said logging, mining and hydroelectric power plans for the virtually untouched wilderness are wrong.
