In 2009 a very active new group from the Fraser Valley community of Surrey
joined Ban the Cannons. This group represents home owners living in many Surrey
communities, in particular families living along the north side of Highway #10
just west of Cloverdale.
On July 22nd they held a protest ralley on the corner of Highway #10 and 168th
street to raise awareness of the extreme noise pollution produced by blueberry
farms on the south side of the highway.
Please visit our
Cloverdale Protest web page
for more details.
The group's activities include:
-
a protest was held at Surrey Municipal Hall to urge the municipality to enforce
it's noise bylaws. The results can be seen on our Surrey City Hall Protest web page.
-
filing a formal complaint to the BCFIRB about excessive blueberry cannon noise
in their community
-
filing a formal complaint about the extreme noise generated by frost fans used
on blueberry farms
-
writing a steady stream of letters to local newspapers and politicians raising
awareness of this noise issue
