ShareThisBuilding Begins on Sports Centre: Mount Washington Home to New Facility
COMOX VALLEY — Construction of a long sought after international sport facility is now underway on Mount Washington. The facility has been in the planning stages for many years as a legacy to the Vancouver 2010 games. When it’s completed at the end of March in 2011 the 8000 square foot multi-functional facility will feature meeting and video rooms, training facilities, fitness areas and accommodations. The building will be used by amateur and professional athletes, hopefully in the pursuit of Olympic medals. The million+ facility is being constructed on property owned by Mount Washington Alpine Resort but will be operated by the Vancouver Island Mountain Sports Society. Society chair Rick Morson said a lot of hard work has gone into getting the project to the construction phase and he is gratified to know that it will eventually be finished. Crews had originally hoped to begin construction in August but are now working hard to try to get as much of the project underway before snowfalls begin.

Technically only one country can build it and use the water NEW DELHI: Amid indications that India and Pakistan are on the verge of resolving some long-standing territorial disputes, differences over utilisation of the waters of the Kishanganga (Neelum in Pakistan) is casting a new shadow over relationship. Both sides want to build a hydro-electric project over the river as well as use the water for irrigation. But the problem is that only one country can build a technically feasible power project as well as use the waters for irrigation. New twist In the latest twist to the issue, Pakistan High Commissioner Shahid Malik has threatened to take the dispute to a third party for arbitration following several rounds of fruitless talks between experts of both countries. In response, India has accelerated works on the project because it fears that if the project is not completed earlier than the downstream Neelum-Jhelum project in Pakistan, it may permanently lose its rights to utilise this site. Besides, there are very few other sites on the western rivers for utilising India’s share under the Indus Waters Treaty. Apprehensive that Pakistan could plead before a court of arbitration to get the Kishanganga project stopped, India took the unusual step of completing the digging work on a diversion tunnel even before the project could be awarded to a company.
