Hello everyone,
On my way home from work I heard on the local news (Prince George) that the Sacred Headwaters Society had a victory in their fight to save the headwaters of the Stikine, Nass, and Skeena. Since we are in the Stikine region I thought this might be of interest to us.
Come on Elmer! Lets get this thing done!
Merry christmas all CUU owners!
"Historic protection for BC’s Sacred Headwaters Announced: Major victory in campaign that puts local communities over corporate profit"
"The Sacred Headwaters is located in northwest British Columbia, about 600 kilometres north of Terrace, B.C. The region is home to a diversity of wildlife, such as grizzly bears, caribou and moose. Shell’s plans would have seen thousands of gas wells and thousands of kilometres of roads built at the headwaters of the Skeena, Nass, and Stikine rivers—three of B.C.’s top salmon-producing rivers. The headwaters were listed on the Outdoor Recreation Council’s Most Endangered Rivers list for the past three years. "
