Council Meeting Aug 3 update

Why the Vantreight Hill Project?

Part of the land being used by the Vantreight Family to store and mix a variety of herbicides and pesticides etc. Typically these operations or “industrial operations" have a tendency to contaminate the ground to beyond the limits for residential use or park use, has a study been done to determine that the land is within the limits. Is the family using what is or was productive farm land for these operations now? It is my understanding (approximately 20 years ago) that Central Saanich staff on more than one occasion felt it necessary to report to the Police the Vantreight mishandling of these chemicals. On both occasions the police took action on at least one occasion the chemicals were seized.
