Sheridan Hill quarry proposal

I have a feeling that this latest proposal to turn Sheridan Hill, into just a Sheridan is probably closely related to the quarry proposal beside Minnekhada Park  that was withdrawn after much opposition a few years ago.
At that time I recognized that the claim owners also had claims at Sheridan Hill.  
And now it is time for Pitt Meadows residents to be heard, and hopefully all the neighbouring municipalities and cities can give some help.

The Province:  Pitt Meadows gov’t, residents, First Nation cast stones at quarry proposal
Global News:  Pitt Meadows residents plan protest of proposed quarry near Sheridan Hill

Pitt Meadows council, is even doing their bit by hosting a page on their site

Save Sheridan Hill on Facebook         Save Sheridan Hill on Twitter

And I see that there is now a Save Sheridan Hill website

Anyone wishing to provide their opinion on the project should write to write to the chief inspector of mines, c/o Mines and Mineral Resources Division Southwest Region, P.O. Box 9395, Stn. Prov. Govt., Victoria, B.C., V8W 9M9 or E-Mail southwestminesdivision@gov.bc.ca    An online petition is also available

And we should not forget that the Katzie peoples have lived here longer than anyone, and the hill is part of their rich cultural heritage of myths and legends; and they are very much in opposition to the proposal.

I personally do not believe in any of it, the Mitchell bomber site and the wreckage, should be left alone as a memorial to the crew who died there.
