Quispamsis Mayor Says Town Should Have Been Notified Of Seismic Testing

Quispamsis Mayor Murray Driscoll says he wasn't aware Windsor Energy carried out seismic testing for shale gas within the town limits without approval but he now wants more information from the government.

The Mayor would also like to know what was found because he was unaware there are any natural gas deposits undergound in the town. 

The legislature was told the seismic testing took place last October along a provincial highway.
 
Driscoll says he couldn't speculate on how town council would have voted had the company sought permission beforehand. 

He does say the fact it was carried out without the town being notified is a concern.
