Nelson: This Saturday February 5th at 12pm in Central School gym, Scott Niedermayer will be showing his support to Keep Jumbo Wild and you can too!
The two-time hockey Olympic gold medalist and Stanley Cup winner has emailed Mungall to express his support for the rally. Niedermeyer has been a vocal advocate for keeping Jumbo wild, and Kootenay Ice team members are following in his footsteps. They will be reading Scott’s letter while joining host Mungall onstage at the rally this Saturday. Also joining her will be Spencer Chandra Herbert, NDP Opposition Critic for Tourism, Culture & Arts, The Raging Grannies and more.
In November, Mungall spoke to the Minister for Natural Resource Operations and he said that he would be making a decision regarding Jumbo “in the next few months.” Should he give the Master Development Agreement the green light, it won’t be long before bulldozers make their way to this important grizzly bear habitat.
With this decision looming Mungall says the BC Liberal Minister “needs to hear the voice of Kootenay residents, a voice that has emphatically said they want to keep Jumbo Wild.”
“The time to stop the Jumbo Glacier Resort is now. Let’s make sure the Minister is clear that we don’t want this development in our backcountry, and that we won’t stand for it.”
Join us this Saturday in Central School Gym at 12 pm and help send a clear strong message to Keep Jumbo Wild.
