Wilderness Committee publishes "BC Rivers at Risk"
Thursday, 24 September 2009 15:13

Click here to view a PDF of ""BC Rivers at Risk", a publication of the Western Canada WIlderness Committee.

The paper shines a spotlight on two large and extremely unpopular proposed projects: Bute Inlet (150 km north of Powell River) and Glacier/Howser (in the West Kootenays). It also points out breaking news that the BC government is finally admitting what we’ve accused them of all along: that this private power would not be generated to serve British Columbians, but rather is intended for export. The newsletter also shows how we can do green power right: in a way that respects local communities, promotes conservation, fights against climate change, has real environmental oversight and benefits the public - not just corporations.
