Unwanted smoke rolls through Town of Gibsons

A heavy cloud of smoke tore through the town the Gibsons last weekend.
People said the smell was heavy and they were forced to stay inside, due to breathing problems caused by the smoke.
Councilor Silas White said he experienced the problem himself.
White says there is a burning ban in Gibsons, but.
He says this was not a back yard burn but, a procedure called land clearing, which requires a permit. The permit was legally obtained.

Councilor White says he has brought up these concerns with other officials, and hopes to have the by-laws changed up to address the issue.
