Voices for public sewage treatment in Victoria

VICTORIA—At meetings on February 25 and March 10, the house was full as Capital Regional District residents shared their views on sewage treatment procurement. Members of the Core Area Liquid Waste Management Committee heard passionate and reasoned arguments about why privatization is wrong for Greater Victoria’s new sewage treatment from a broad cross section of people in the region.

Victoria’s independent TV was there to record. Here is the link if you want to watch individual presentations, http://www.youtube.com/user/VictoriaIndyTV#p/u.
