No provincial landslide safety levels in B.C., even though recommended by coroner in 2008

Summary

Nutrition label

81% Informative

A 2008 coroner’s report recommended that B.C. establish landslide safety levels for existing homes and future developments.

The recommendation was made after an examination of the death of 43-year-old Eliza Wing Mun Kuttner in a landslide on Jan. 19, 2005 that carried a District of North Vancouver home down a steep slope at 3:30 a.m..

Coroner 's report into her mother’s death 16 years ago warned population growth pressure would likely result in more residential developments encroaching onto steeper slopes in many parts of the province.

Pawlowski also recommended the province develop a comprehensive landslide hazard management strategy focused on prevention and mitigation risk.

B.C. Public Safety Minister John van Dongen said the province would “facilitate discussions” on the recommendations.
