Ash spilled in train derailment could harm fish in Banff creek
by Reid Southwick, Calgary Herald, December 30, 2014
Authorities are concerned about the long-term health of fish in a Banff creek after a freight train derailed last week, spilling several hundred tonnes of potentially toxic cargo into the water and surrounding area.
A Parks Canada official said Monday much of the spilled fly ash — a byproduct of coal production that can disrupt the local ecosystem — has settled to the bottom of 40 Mile Creek.

What's a father and son to do on New Year's Day? How about fly fishing on the Bow River?
Looks like Santa brought an identical SIMMS pack for each of them. :-)

Vancouver Sun’s Minding The Farm series leads to remedial work on fish streams impacted by Fraser Valley farming
By Larry Pynn, Vancouver Sun December 29, 2014
Two farmland owners in the Fraser Valley have conducted wide-ranging remediation work — and a third is under a provincial order to do so — following a lengthy Vancouver Sun investigation into the environmental impact of farming on fish streams.
The Sun’s Minding The Farm series, published in June, probed several cases in which farmers had altered important fish habitat, and it also exposed the B.C. government’s lax laws on farm manure runoff into fish streams compared with neighbouring Washington state.

David Ebner, VANCOUVER — The Globe and Mail, Friday, Dec. 19 2014
"....But this business guru is also well aware of plans that were given the official go-ahead this week to build a third massive hydroelectric dam on the Peace River in northeastern British Columbia. Known as Site C, it is expected to cost almost $9-billion – the biggest infrastructure investment the province has ever made – with construction to begin next summer and to take as long as a decade.
Mr. Chouinard questions B.C. Hydro’s case for flooding 55 square
kilometres, much of it farmland and traditional First Nations territory.
“It really is a fallacy that hydro is clean power,” he argues. “It’s
like ‘clean’ coal. There’s no such thing. I mean, with wind turbines and
solar, it’s pretty crazy to destroy an entire river, destroy an entire
valley, destroy some of the best agricultural land in Canada.”....

U.S. Senate Passes Watershed Legislation Affecting B.C.’s Flathead River Valley
U.S. Senate Passes Watershed Legislation Affecting B.C.’s
Flathead River Valley
by David Hadden, Dec 19, 2014
Flathead Wild
writes: “We commend Montana Senators Tester and Walsh, and Congressman
Steve Daines for working together to find this solution. Now that we
have a complementary ban on oil and gas and mining on both sides of the
Flathead, we need to have a national park in the Canadian Flathead to
match the American one."
