Talks between Town of Shelburne and clean water activists reach impasse – Nova Scotia Advocate
advocating for potable water access for a Black community within town
limits appear to have broken down completely.
“At a meeting on Oct. 11th 2019 with yourself, the CAO, mayor, Deputy
mayor and other representatives of the South End Environmental
Injustice Society, it was agreed by all present that in order for
council to make an informed decision regarding placing a well in the
south end of Shelburne, various information was needed. A follow up
meeting was planned for the following Friday,” a letter to Delisle,
signed by Shelburne CAO Darren Shupe, states.
“Instead of waiting for the information to be collected, you chose to
immediately go to the press with unsubstantiated information which
caused what may well be irreparable damage to our community. These
actions leave council with no choice, but to cancel the meeting Friday
and seek legal advise (sic) regarding this matter, the brief letter
concludes.
