DP World wants to tear down part of a 1967 wall in the Fraser River near Surrey. Why? Modern ships are too big to safely dock at the lower berths. The project involves removing 1,400 creosote timber piles and dredging 40,000 cubic metres of...
Why This Matters: Live near the Fraser River in Surrey? Construction noise could affect you for 3-4 weeks. The project also involves dumping dredged sediment at sea, which raises questions about what's in that material.

An oil company wants to build a 3-hectare drilling pad for up to 12 oil wells, plus a 244-metre access road. The site was chosen to avoid wetlands and stay back from Frog Creek. Part of an existing road will be reused to reduce tree clearing.
Why This Matters: Live near Frog Creek or in the surrounding area? This oil drilling project could affect local traffic, noise levels, and the landscape for years. The site will eventually be reclaimed, but that's after the wells stop producing.
