Last Savary Wilderness Subdivided
by Court Judgement
In March, Mr. Justice Rice made a judgment ordering a 4 lot subdivision or an 8 lot subdivision (with the provision of a new road) of District Lot 1375, formerly known as the “Trillium lands”. This is the last wilderness on Savary Island and home to one of the best examples of a coastal dune ecosystem in Canada. The judgment may be read at: http://www.courts.gov.bc.ca/jdb-txt/SC/10/03/2010BCSC0318.htm
