No Quarry in Bayside

To cheers and applause in St. Andrews on Wednesday night, Minister of Environment made the announcement that we wanted to hear.

"I am announcing tonight that I will not amend the plan to allow for a pit or quarry operation and I am stopping the current rezoning process", said Haché.

"We have considered both sides of the issue and I have made my final decision."

Residents and visitors to Bayside and St. Andrews have spoken loudly and clearly - they do not want an open pit gravel mine in Bayside.  No amount of public-relations spin or paid-for studies from Jamer Materials will change that fact.  The natural beauty of the Bayside area and the St. Andrews drinking water supply need to be protected for future generations.
