Kootenay Paddlers,
Lets help protect Big Silver, Shovel & Tretheway Creeks (Harrison Lk. area, Fraser Valley) from a large, invasive Run-Of-River development scheme that is reaching the next level of planning.
Comment period begins Jan. 11, 2012.

These remote creeks need maximum support in order to show that BC people care about protecting natural resources and sensitive wildlife habitat.
