A ehlanzekile Victoria ichweba liyindawo ethokozelwa abahlali kanye nezivakashi izizukulwane ngezizukulwane. Ibalulekile futhi ekusindeni kwezilwane zasendle zasolwandle zasendaweni, njengoba iyindawo ebalulekile yokudla kanye nomthombo wokudla.

Namuhla, i-Transport Canada iklomelise cishe $ 17.66 million kwinkontileka eya ku-QM/JJM Contracting JV ukuze kubuyiselwe impilo yemvelo ye-Laurel Point Park kanye netheku ngokususa ukungcola okuphikelelayo ku-ecosystem.
Phakathi kuka-1906 no-1975, i-Laurel Point Park, elise-Middle Harbor Victoria, kwakuyisizinda semboni kapende. Imisebenzi yezimboni ishiye ukungcola okungapheli emhlabathini, okubeka usongo ezintweni eziphilayo zasolwandle. Izinto ezingcolisayo azibeki ubungozi kubahlali nakubasebenzisi bamapaki.
Ukuhlanza i-Laurel Point Park kuyisigaba sokugcina se-Transport Canada's Comprehensive Middle Harbor Remediation Project ukuze kugcinwe itheku futhi kususwe ukungcola okuphikelelayo ku-ecosystem. Isigaba sokuqala silungise ngempumelelo ama-sediments angcolile angaphansi kwamanzi I-Victoria Harbor. Umsebenzi wesigaba sokugcina uzoqala ngenyanga ezayo kanti kulindeleke ukuthi uphele ngasekupheleni konyaka ozayo. Abasebenzi bazomba inhlabathi engcolile e-Laurel Point Park, bagcwalise indawo ngenhlabathi ehlanzekile futhi baphinde baphendukise ipaki.
I-Middle Harbour Remediation Project ixhaswa nge-Federal Contaminated Sites Action Plan (FCSAP), edidiyelwa yi-Environment and Climate Change Canada kanye ne-Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, futhi ihlinzeka ngezimali ukuze kuhlolwe futhi kulungiswe iziza zenhlangano engcolisiwe. Uhulumeni we Canada ithatha isinyathelo ngaphansi kwe-FCSAP ukuze ilondolozele imvelo yethu izizukulwane ngezizukulwane.
“UHulumeni Canada ithatha umthwalo wayo wokuhlanza amasayithi angcoliswe yinhlangano efana EkaVictoria Middle Harbor sina. Isimemezelo sanamuhla sibonisa isenzo futhi sibonisa ukuzibophezela kwethu okuqhubekayo ekuvikeleni I-Canada imvelo yasolwandle kanye nezabahlali.”
