A group of View Royal residents are concerned that a housing proposal on the site of the former Thetis Lake Campground will cause traffic and environmental issues.
The development application is for Thetis Lake Apartments, 152 multi-family residential units priced below or near-market rental prices in two six-storey buildings.
Located adjacent to Thetis Lake, the proposal is for a parcel of land north of the TransCanada Highway backing onto Thetis Lake Regional Park.
