Delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities have called for an immediate stop to the Canadian Coast Guard's plan to remove lightkeepers from Carmanah Point and Pachena Point lightstations on Vancouver Island.

The issue has been referred to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities for further support.
