Crofton Mill to Naval Base Proposal | Vancouver News

A former pulp mill in Crofton, now shuttered and devastating local jobs, could become Canada’s next naval base — a bold proposal by MP Jeff Kibble, a retired navy vet, who sees the site’s deep-water port and industrial land as a perfect fit for growing Pacific fleet needs. With CFB Esquimalt already strained, Crofton offers rare, underutilized assets. Local leaders support the idea, seeing it as a lifeline for the economy and a way to bring back tax revenue and good jobs. Kibble’s pushing for a fast feasibility study to explore the military’s budget fit — aiming to turn a regional tragedy into a strategic opportunity.
