Early in May, 2002, a group called the Coalition for Clean Air and Water, decided to disband after fighting a lengthy battle with mushroom composting operations in the Langley/Aldergrove area. They disbanded only after winning the battle against stench.

The group also disbursed about $3800 of its savings to a number of local charities and environmental groups who are battling other forms of air and water issues.

The Coalition donated $1200 to Ban the Cannons, $800 to the SE2 Action Group, $1000 dollars to the Bertrand Creek Enhancement Society, and about $500 to the Elk's Children's Camp.

On behalf of all the members of Ban the Cannons, your web master would like to thank the members of the Coalition of Clean Air and Water, and rest assured that the money will be used wisely, and we will remain dilligent in our struggle.
