356 Sea Shell Lane, District of North Vancouver, B.C. –October 29, 2020– The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority has determined that the proposed Removal of Concrete Boat Launch is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.

This determination was based on a consideration of the following factors:

Mitigation measures taken into account for this determination are:
