Parks and Recreation Areas Discussions with Local BC Governments
Between October 22, 2014 and December 15, 2014, Trans Mountain met with local
governments in British Columbia to review potential construction impacts to municipal parks and
seek feedback on how the parks are used by members of the community. In the Lower
Mainland/Fraser Valley region meetings were held with the City of Surrey, City of Coquitlam,
Township of Langley, City of Abbotsford and the City of Chilliwack. In the BC Interior Trans
Mountain met with the City of Kamloops. These discussions will continue in Q1 2015 and there
will be additional opportunity for feedback during engagement activities planned for spring 2015.
The details of the discussions are summarized in Table 1.12-1 to 1.12-4.
