This approach is meant to give a better idea of how a project will effect quality of life in a region. The city says that the triple bottom line approach is the basis for the Prince Rupert’s Quality of Life Official Community Plan. The result has been, according to the city, that development in Prince Rupert has gone ahead while keeping in mind how much residents value their environment.

“Even with growth, Prince Rupert has retained its natural and pristine look and feel. Development has been balanced as a result of the retention of natural landscapes, harbour views and mountain views and focusing higher densities and larger buildings downtown,” reads the submission.

Gosh and here I thought that development in Prince Rupert has gone ahead due to the efforts of the Port of Prince Rupert, in spite of the Prince Rupert Council and their myopic ways. Funny how that old short man behind the curtain resembles our very own Mad Jack.
