As some of you may have already heard, there is a proposal to build a marina in Squirrel Cove (Cortes Island), which originally would have covered almost the entirety of the cove. The planned marina has been revised, but there are still concerns about the design. The Council of BC Yacht Clubs has been quite active in monitoring the application, and some information is available at the following links:
