Contact Cape Breton Regional Municipality Councillors

Mayor John W. Morgan r jwmorgan@cbrm.ns.ca "The province claims that what they’re doing on Boularderie Island is not strip mining, they claim that what they’re doing is reclamation. It may very well be that a very clear message goes out to the province of Nova Scotia, particularly in respect with strip mining coal in areas that residents are dependent on well fields, that we don’t want that approved for the region." Deputy Mayor Claire Detheridge r 22 MacMillan Road, Sydney, NS B1L 1B1 P: (902) 564-9341 F: (902) 563-5179 mcdetheridge@cbrm.ns.ca "Strip mining is destructive to the point of creating unstsustainability. Strip mining destroys "Natural Capital", i.e. clean air, fertile soil, and usable water. Only the mining companies will benefit, but yet our communities will be destroyed. Provincial governments are selling us out. It is wrong! Politicians listen to the people, protect our Island, our farming , our fishing, our tourism and the island's natural beauty, remember it cannot be replaced." 2 Kevin Saccary r 335 Long Beach Road, Port Morien, NS B1B 1G2 P: (902) 737-2821 F: (902) 737-3003 ksaccary@cbrm.ns.ca “The people of CBRM are against strip mining. If we disagree with the legislation the provincial government has in place that’s our position, to fight that legislation with every ounce of energy we’ve got. No one’s going to tell this councilor to sit down and shut up.” 7 Jim MacLeod r30 Matilda Street, Sydney NS B1N 2T4 P: (902) 562-2427 F: (902) 563-5501 jmacleod@cbrm.ns.ca "The problem is that the Provincial government is not recognizing, for some strange reason, that they have a responsibility. The provincial government has to recognize that this is not the kind of development that we require here in CBRM to move forward." 9 Tom Wilson r 15 St. Peter’s Road, Sydney, NS B1P 4P2 P: (902) 564-8496 F: (902) 564-5321 twilson@cbrm.ns.ca "Everybody realizes that the provincial government seems to be holding the trump card when it comes to strip mining. Instead of being represented provincially in regards to the best interests of the people I think we’re being dictated to." 3 Lee McNeil r 1 Crosby Street, Glace Bay, NS B1A 6B6 P: (902) 849-6196 F: (902) 849-2127 lmcneil@cbrm.ns.ca "It seems to me we have to suck a-s-s with Halifax to pass something here in Cape Breton." 8 Ray Paruch r 55 Acadia Drive, Sydney, NS B1P 3X9 P: (902) 562-4482 F: (902) 563-5129 frparuch@cbrm.ns.ca "The main event is for the MLA’s, the inactive, unlistening MLAs who do not get involved, who do no want to hear, who do not want to heed the people. The problem is with the MLAs and the province of Nova Scotia. That’s where the problem is and that’s where the solution is." 5 Darren Bruckschwaiger r 116 Ocean Avenue, Dominion, NS B1G 1R3 P: (902) 849-2737 F: (902) 842-2961 drbruckschwaiger@cbrm.ns.ca "If people are against strip mining I think we should make presentations to the province stating that we're with the residents. But if some one wants to come in with a plan to reclaim dangerous land in Dominion and help the residents I want to see that done." 16 Wes Stubbert r 23 Jardine Street, Florence, NS B1Y 1J6 P: (902) 736-9556 F: (902) 736-0890 wstubbert@cbrm.ns.ca "What they’re proposing on Boularderie island has nothing to do with reclamation, it’s strip mining in its ugliest form. They don’t give a damn because it will make a few dollars for some well heeled friend. I will stand up and fight it 24 hours a day." 6 Frankie Morrison r 3591 Ellsworth Ave, New Waterford, NS B1H 2G9 P: (902) 862-8516 F: (902) 862-2030 gfmorrison@cbrm.ns.ca 1 Brian Lahey r 741 Hills Road, Albert Bridge, NS B1K 3H4 P: (902) 562-7687 F: (902) 562-5642 blahey@cbrm.ns.ca 10 Charlie Long r 6 Jennifer Avenue, Sydney, NS B1S 2Z4 P: (902) 539-3698 F: (902) 562-8065 crlong@cbrm.ns.ca 11 Richard Fogarty r 50 Carmichael Drive, Sydney River, NS B1S 3K3 P: (902) 562-6122 F: (902) 564-9042 rfogarty@cbrm.ns.ca 13 Esmond Marshall r 127 Beach Road, Eskasoni, NS B1W 1A5 P: (902) 379-2432 F: (902) 379-2810 emarshall@cbrm.ns.ca 14 Gordon MacLeod r 11 Moulton Ave, North Sydney, NS B2A 1Z2 P: (902) 794-4261 F: (902) 794-5660 gmacleod@cbrm.ns.ca 15 Clarence Prince r 9 Cambridge Ave, Sydney Mines, NS B1V 2G4 P: (902) 736-8045 F: (902) 736-7580 cprince@cbrm.ns.ca 4 Vince Hall r P.O.
