Submitted on January 10, 2012
1961 Land Lease to Stora Expired Last Year, No Longer Reflects Current Conditions, say EAC's Miller & Plourde
“In 1961 we leveraged a tremendous amount of Crown Land to get a company to come to Nova Scotia,” says Matt Miller, Forestry Program Coordinator at the Ecology Action Centre in Halifax. “The focus was only on jobs and wood supply, and we gave them complete and utter control of 40% of the Crown Land in the province, 1 in 9 acres.”
