Annapolis County concerned about impending WestFor agreement

In a special session of the Annapolis County council, a motion was approved (unanimously) to request of the Premier the following (partially paraphrased):

– to be informed of the expected date of the signing of the agreement between the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources and WestFor involving Crown land some of which is in Annapolis County

– to exclude land within the boundaries of Annapolis County from the agreement for one year so that council and staff can review the agreement and make recommendations.

A letter to this effect was sent on behalf of the council to the Premier on March 3, 2017
