I was pleased to read that council has directed staff to review West VancouverB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s rock blasting bylaw and come up with long-term and short-term solutions for Oak Bay.

My concern about this article is the emphasis on the noise/COVID-19 relationship. To be sure, the current pandemic has heightened peopleB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s anxiety and sensitivity to their surroundings. However, the blasting and noise bylaws need to be amended because they are antiquated, not simply because of COVID-19. Action was long overdue and is now urgently needed.
