Put Habitat Back in the Fisheries Act

Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition writes: 

"You just can't protect fish without protecting where they live...time to put Habitat back into the Fisheries Act. Take action here - http://fisheriesact.ca/ " 

In 2012, the Harper government changed our Fisheries Act, the oldest and most robust environmental laws in Canada, and took out most of the habitat protection provisions. Fish habitat destruction is the most common reason for species decline. It’s time to get habitat protection back in the Fisheries Act.

Trout Unlimited Canada - Bow River Chapter writes: 

"Call for volunteers! BRC is looking for volunteers this Saturday, April 9 to help us cut willow stakes in preparation for our Riparian Restoration Project on Fish Creek planned later this month. We are hoping to harvest a few hundred Willow stakes that will be later planted along the banks of Fish Creek to restore valuable riparian vegetation. Stay tuned for more volunteer days planned throughout the spring as well.

Thanks for your support!"
