A special zoning meeting was held yesterday to get feedback abouta proposal to build a new training facility and ambulence base beside Chrstal Clean Car Wash.

Peter Marshall is the manager of Emergency Services for the District Services Board and says they wanted a location closest to where they get the most emergency calls.

Superior Propane was the only local business to object to the zoning application.

Its concerned the land ambulence base could jeopardize its operations in the area, due to chance under the Hazardous Materials act.
