Etchegary

A spokesperson for the department, Mikaela Etchegary, advised the terminal project received environmental assessment (EA) approval in 2008, and last received an extension to the start of work date in October 2018.

Gus Etchegary — fisheries advocate, corporate insider, author and athlete — died on Saturday, three weeks shy of his 99th birthday.

Speaking with the Telegram after his induction, Etchegary told stories about being a player on the Burin Peninsula throughout the 1940s and 50s.

Etchegary said the project’s next step will likely be a public survey across the province, and a targeted survey with individuals who have experience with genetic testing, hopefully producing data by late next spring.
