Proposed B.C. mountain resort project won't require environmental assessment

B.C. announced on July 24 that the Zincton wilderness resort proposal will not need an environmental assessment after an 18-month review by the Environmental Assessment Office .
The Zincton resort will cover 5,000 hectares in the Selkirk Mountains and is currently at the second stage of a five-stage approval process managed by the Mountain Resort Branch, which facilitates resort development.
Concerns raised by Wildsight and the Sinixt Confederacy include potential negative impacts on local wildlife and the community, despite the EAO decision.
David Harley described the EAO decision as "an important milestone for Zincton," emphasizing a commitment to environmental stewardship and community engagement as the project moves forward in the regulatory process.
