Cranbrook Boundary Expansion Approved

On Friday, October 5, 2007 the City of Cranbrook was notified by Ministry of Community Services that the City’s boundary expansion application has been approved through an Order in Council (O.I.C.). Lands included in the application included the area known as Shadow Mountain.

Mayor Ross Priest stated “The notice is good news for the City we note that the application was successful due to a tremendous amount of work by Provincial Government department employees, City Staff within Corporate Services, the efforts of MLA Bill Bennett, in supporting the application, but most importantly, because the application makes good sense for the growth and wise planning of the city for the immediate future and for years beyond.”

Mayor Priest added, “We’re most pleased to have the much discussed and anticipated Shadow Mountain project moved to the forefront of project legitimacy and welcome in the forthcoming proponents submissions, as their development plans can now be incorporated into appropriate city planning.”
