Anyone live in Burnaby and want to protect a park? The city just put up the form for opposing the new composting facility.
While the facility is probably not a bad idea, they want to carve out a big chunk of the riverfront Terminus Park to do it and decided to ram it through using an “alternative approval process” where its automatically approved unless more than 10% of the voters oppose it by filling out a form and physically submitting it.
Strangely enough we just voted in permanent park status to three large areas in the last election with 90% approval so I can see why they wouldn’t want it in a regular vote.

Form here: https://www.burnaby.ca/sites/default/files/acquiadam/2023-02/Burnaby-Elector-Response-Form.pdf
Its got to be printed out dead tree style, signed physically and either mailed in or dropped off at city hall.
