SUBJECT: Wreck Beach, British Columbia
TO : All naturists
Dear Naturist,
The Naturist Action Committee (NAC) asks all naturists to unite in a
worldwide grass roots e-mail writing campaign to save Wreck Beach
from plans being made by the University of British Columbia (UBC) for
three additional residence towers to overlook the beach. One tower is
already being constructed. If the University is allowed to continue on
its present course, a total of four towers will blight the beach
forever.
This situation has been the focus of previous NAC Action Alerts. The
decision by NAC to issue this new Action Alert was prompted by UBC's
recent insistence on moving forward, despite public protests, with two
more 18-storey towers and a 14-storey one. NAC asks for your help in a
grass roots battle to preserve Wreck Beach. This new request is made in
close cooperation with the Wreck Beach Preservation Society (WBPS), the
Pacific Spirit Park Society (PSPS), and the Federation of Canadian
Naturists (FCN).
This e-mail writing campaign is a NEW effort to preserve the
magnificent
view from Wreck Beach, including its forested cliff tops and its sense
of wilderness.
The Wreck Beach Preservation Society will be binding copies of your
e-mailed letters into a book for presentation at these meetings. So
that we have documented proof of the contents and numbers of letters
authorities are receiving, we ask that you please copy all e-mail
correspondence (and whatever replies you may receive) to Judy Williams,
NAC board member and Chair of the WBPS: judyw@wreckbeach.org
BACKGROUND
Wreck Beach in Vancouver, BC, Canada is one of the most beautiful
clothing-optional beaches in the world. Presently, the pristine
forested cliffs above the beach have hidden any university buildings
from view, giving beachgoers a natural backdrop that approaches
wilderness despite closer proximity to the city. This precious heritage
view is still enjoyed by boaters and people who visit the tidal flats
today. The mistake of Tower #1 must not be allowed to be replicated
three more times.
UPDATE ON THE RESULTS OF YOUR EFFORTS SO FAR
At the meeting of the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD)
board of directors on July 29, 2005, GVRD basically supported
preserving the natural views from Wreck Beach. We urge your letters
to encourage the GVRD to hold the line on the line-of-sight recommended
by their staff and to encourage the GVRD to ensure that visibility is
measured prior to consideration of any new UBC building plans.
ACTION: NAC ASKS ALL CONCERNED INDIVIDUALS TO CONTACT THE FOLLOWING
AUTHORITIES
We urge you to become part of this important new effort. Whether or
not you have written before, please write now in order to make a
difference at the meetings of GVRD and UBC on September 21 and 22.
Please send your e-mail correspondence to as many on the list as
possible. Surface mail may not arrive in time.
