Yellowknife city councillors say No to Kam Lake work camp
At a meeting last night, city councillors voted down a plan to build a temporary camp for up to 250 workers needed to build the new Stanton hospital.
4 out of 7 councillors present voted down the idea Tuesday night
Four out of the seven councillors present said No last night to a plan to build a temporary camp for up to 250 workers needed to build the new Stanton hospital.
Several concerns were raised during a noon hour council session Monday.
Among them: that the camp would encroach on the peace and quiet of a nearby residential neighbourhood, and that the camp idea was being proposed so late in the game, and on a short timeline.
Councillors Adrian Bell, Julian Morse, Rommel Silverio and Shauna Morgan voted against the plan. Councillors Linda Bussey, Rebecca Alty and Steve Payne voted for it.
