vancouver: In fact, the parent company is one of many creditors, according to Vancouver Courier. Robb added the settlement stipulated that Metro Vancouver allow the company to change its name to 00891775 B.C. Ltd., which the provincial court system will register when posting the Feb. 22, 2019, court order.

Robb said Metro Vancouver was to charge Harvest with dozens of counts of pollution, which carried fines of up to 1 million per day. But, said Robb, it was those two days that were a slam dunk for the district as there were environmental officers in the field collecting evidence, numerous complaints from Richmond residents were received and the wind didn't change all day, which made it easy to pinpoint the source of the odour. The district had evidence of pollution from Sept. 1, 2016, to Nov. 16, 2016, as well as the two days noted in the settlement. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
