Clarification
On page 7 of The Chief last week the article headlined "PR help needed to present environmental bylaw", it was noted that District of Squamish Council supported spending up to $20,000 to explain the proposed environmental protection bylaw to residents. Coun. Corinne Lonsdale and Coun. Raj Kahlon voted against the plan but their votes were outnumbered by the other members of Council.
