No doubt about it, with the massive Weyerhaeuser land rezoning council has left its mark on Ucluelet for decades to come. Which may be a tad presumptuous, since they were only elected for three years, but it’s too late to quibble over that now. All we can do is watch and hang on as forces much larger than ourselves move in to reshape our town.
Still, some seem to feel it’s only fair to acknowledge council’s part in this momentous shift with something a little more enduring than a whack on the back. Forwarded from an avid Tattler reader (who wants to be known as Wookie), here is a map of the rezoning with some suggested names for key features of the proposed development.

For those masochists who want to keep track of how closely the development of the Weyerhaeuser lands will actually adhere to the bill of goods they sold council on, view an archived picture (260K) of the “final concept” drawing by clicking here.
