A group of citizens in Dartmouth is worried about the potential threat to a vital ecosystem at the expense of a newly announced housing development. Protect Our Southdale Wetland Society has been around for a few years. But they have renewed concerns about announcements last week and this week for the Southdale Future Growth Node developments. The 12-hundred units are being added to an area their group considers ecologically sensitive. And with the provincial developments being fast-tracked, they are worried proper environmental assessments will be set aside by both the Department of Environment and HRM's planning department. Susan Van Iderstine is hoping there's political will to protect these wetlands and find another space for affordable and much needed housing.
