The proposed Zincton ski resort won’t get an environmental assessment. Where to from here?
In late July, after almost 18 months of deliberating, the B.C. government decided to bypass an environmental assessment for a proposed new ski resort in the province’s spectacular Selkirk Mountains. Instead, the 5,500-hectare Zincton development will be reviewed by the government’s Mountain Resorts Branch, an agency set up to facilitate resort development.
