Feds to review Raven coal mine
- By Fred Davies - Parksville Qualicum Beach News  The Raven Underground Coal Project will undergo a federal environmental analysis, but at least one critic wonders whether the assessment will be undermined by Ottawa’s changed handling of environmental reviews. Referencing a recent Globe and Mail article, John Snyder, chairperson of the mine critic group CoalWatch, said the Harper government is “handing the environment ministry the power to minimize reviews of projects from open-pit mines to municipal construction along with other changes that will gut the environmental review process. |

Fish Lake Help Urgently Needed
-"Friends of the Nemaiah Valley"; (British Columbia)
As you know, the Federal Panel Hearings into Taseko Mine's application for their Prosperity Mine are now into the second week. If Taseko gets approval for this mine it will destroy Teztan Biny (Fish Lake), Nabas (Little Fish Lake) and Fish Creek. There will be significant cultural loss and social upheaval in the Nemiah Valley. Fraser River salmon runs may very well be imperiled. |

Rivers at Risk: Saving Bute Inlet from General Electric

They provide drinking water for our communities, spawning habitat for wild salmon and other critters, and turf for adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts. BC's wild rivers are at risk from a gold rush of power producers. Over 600 waterways in BC have been staked by corporations looking to make big money on our wild rivers. |

Climate Change Hypocrisy in BC’s Throne Speech - Peace Valley Environment Association
- February 10, 2010

Invoke the Precautionary Principle and Ban the Use of Cosmetic Pesticides in British Columbia
PEJ news - Joan Russow (Ph.D.) Global Compliance Research Project
Support a province-wide ban on lawn and garden pesticides. For years the precautionary principle has been a fundamental principle of international law. This principle has been enunciated in different ways such as:
Where there is a threat to the environment and human health, the lack of full scientific certainty shall not be used as a reason for postponing measures to prevent the threat. There has been more than sufficient data on the health and environmental consequences of the use of pesticides to justify a complete ban on production, sale and use of not just cosmetic pesticides but of most pesticides.
Today is the deadline for submitting comments (see details in Annex below)
