BC's new government is now in place. Write to your BC MLA today to ensure the health of wild Pacific salmon and the BC ecosystem are a priority. Our new BC MLAs need to know that over 120 First Nations and the majority of British Columbians support the removal of ocean-polluting salmon farms from coastal BC waters.

For eight long-years the community of Bradner has been fending off industrial development - the majority of us breath a huge sigh of relief with each failed Agriculture Land Reserve (ALR) exclusion application for 331 acres on Bradner's western border, and brace in apprehension for when the next application will be attempted.

Wetlands Threatened by Expanding Industustrial Developments on Langley and Abbotsford Border

Brit Gardner - I went for a Langley walk yesterday along the West Creek headwaters, in Gloucester Industrial Estates. Close to where I grew up. Thanks to the beavers, these wetlands are a beautiful, thriving, and complete ecosystem. The creek headwaters are home to salmon spawning, geese, ducks, rare and migratory birds, rabbits, and countless other wildlife.

Jumping the Gun, leads to a fine and fight

Protecting your livestock from predators BC

Recently, a local senior citizen and farmer saw his crops, food stores and livestock being plundered by a bear. He called for the assistance of a BC Conservation Officer, who jumped the gun and fined him for a remark that led into a court case.

About a year ago, the senior had a problem. A bear was attacking his sheep, stealing meat from an outdoor freezer and raiding his corn patch. When he called a conservation officer for help, he offhandedly commented to the officer about shooting the bear if he caught it the act of attacking his sheep. The comment obviously irritated the conservation officer who wrote the senior a ticket, levelling a hefty $300 fine. The senior farmer challenged the ticket and hence, a court hearing is being held about the situation.
