Communications System Location and Consultation Policy

Posted on February 17, 2014 at 1:42 PM by Nancy Cooper

Due to requests and concerns expressed by residents, the City of Salmon Arm began work on a Communications System Location and Consultation Policy (cell tower placement policy). On February 11, 2014, at the Development and Planning Committee meeting, City staff brought forward the initial draft of such a policy.

After review of the City’s draft policy and recent communication from Industry Standards regarding their intent to amend their current policy, Council passed a motion “that any further deliberation or consideration of a Communication System Location and Consultation Policy be deferred until City Staff and Council are able to review and consider Industry Canada’s Revised Consultation Protocol.”
