New OCP posted for viewing

What I see missing from the draft OCP is any statement that there will be NO FURTHER DEVELOPMENT in the Topping Creek watershed, which is known to supply about 2/3 of the town's water during the 9 driest months of the year--and which Little Sheep Creek, if it is brought on line, can't begin to replace. There are lots of "motherhood statements" about mitigating the effects of development in "enviromentally sensitive areas," but nothing about disallowing developments in such area. Whistler and many other communities across BC will not even consider a development in the watershed. And this is what most Rosslanders are asking for--or so it would seem, from the 959 who just signed a petition to be presented at the Legislature in Victoria, asking that the provincial government NOT allow Red Mountain Resorts to develop a golf course in the watershed.  I should think that a few local residents, both in town and outside town, would also be bothered by the fact that the developer is expecting to get some 450 acres of Crown land virtually given to him for the golf course, condos, hotel, etc. Our land, right? Given to Katkov & company at something like $5000/acre? In exchange for...??? Oh, right--I forgot. Some low-paying resort-type jobs and a golf course that few of us could afford to play on. All this on land which, at present, is OURS, to be used for our recreational pleasure (skiing, hiking, biking , birdwatching) free of charge.
