Petition calls for Burns Bog to be made a UNESCO World Heritage Site
A petition from hundreds of residents calling for Burns Bog to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site was presented in the House of Commons today by Sukh Dhaliwal, Member of Parliament for Newton-North Delta.This recognition of Burns Bogs status as a cultural and environmental landmark would go a long way to preserving the bog for generations to come. It is high time that it become a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Dhaliwal said. I congratulate the Burns Bog Conservation Society and other leaders …
that won’t help once the SFPR is built and the bog is cut off from the fraser river. This part of the gateway project is so poorly planned it’s unbelievable. Why not just use hwy 99 and 10 to connect to hwy 15???? an extra lane would be so much less damage then a whole new highway. . . .
