City councillor Ziggy Stewart tells landfill opponents that he won’t be “pushed around” at last Thursday’s meeting of the regional district’s Solid Waste Management Committee.

In spite of public opposition, city councillors intend to see the completion of a report on the potential of a new landfill and waste-to-energy operation at the former Elk Falls paper mill.

“I didn’t say it was going to happen…I want see what’s best for Campbell River,” said Coun. Ziggy Stewart, who was clearly agitated by the opponents.
