Heat pumps under consideration for Exploration Place, Beaverly Fire Hall

Using our property tax money to pretend to “fight climate change” is so ridiculous it would be comical if only it wasn’t such a waste of money… 🤡

Clearly was not built to code and therefore unable able to withstand snow loads etc. Thankfully nobody was hurt.

The AAP makes this whole process pointless, really. It’s basically a loophole manufactured by politicians, for politicians to use as a blank cheque for any projects they want. And to use debt on regular maintenance? That seems really irresponsible…

As stated the supports were in the process of being removed when the snow collapsed it. But the real stupid thing is the regional district using that as a reason why you need a permit to build, as if it was in mid construction when it collapsed. That just goes to show the lack of intelligence when it comes to bureaucratic red tape.

Carney owns a heat pump company.

So 35+ years for exploration place to pay back and break even…. Sounds like a winner considering theyll probably fail or reach the end of their life long before that time comes.

Waste of money not very efficient in our climate

Is anyone surprised at this point? People should understand the provincial and federal government stances on things after how many years. Things won't change until they get to hard for the people down south.

Need Trump to go down there and clean up that country.

Gee, isn't that what all the tax increases over the years was supposed to pay for? Or are taxes just to pay for councilor pay increases?

I wonder if you read the entire story or just glanced it over. The building collapsed due to several structural support beams being removed prior to the recent snowfalls in preparation for demolition and it collapsed under the weight of the snow due to lack of structural support.

Was it brought down due to not being finished (with all the supports in place), voluntarily by the owner, or via a surprise visitor?

Local MLA’s have all expressed valid concerns that should be addressed by Eby. Unfortunately much of what Eby has done has resulted in increasing debts since we had a surplus after Horgan left office. Eby seems to think he can meet his goals on borrowed money but manages to increase the debt year after year, not what we expect from our leadership. We need a change in provincial lead ship, if not party.

Saying the building is 45 years old is completely inaccurate. There have been at most 2 major renovations/expansions since the year 2000.

Thanks to Mayor Yu and council for moving forward with this concern. Also thanks to Todd for presenting the petition.

No matter what public officials are paid people will complain. Often the complaints are non-specific, vague, & unwarranted.

It sounds like yet another greenwashing, tax-grabbing initiative. Why were other, more feasible options not explored? The city just blindly follows WEF directives. We are being taxed out of homeownership.

what a joke, zero accountability at all. Hey look, she didn't kill anyone so lets slap her on the wrist.
