Hello, I'm from the FishBC forum and thought I'd post this for anyone who may be interested. It's in regards to the CN train spill that killed off approx 500,000 different fish in the river, and sticking it to CN as hard as we possibly can. If anyone wants to carpool I'll be heading up from Langley, just drop me an e-mail.
You are invited to attend a Public Open House presented by the Cheakamus
Ecosystem Recovery Technical Committee (CERTC) to learn about what actions
are being taken by CN Railway and CERTC on the Cheakamus River as a result
of the August 5th, 2005 derailment and sodium hydroxide spill to the river.
The Cheakamus Ecosystem Recovery Technical and Steering Committees were
established shortly after the spill, and are composed of multiple agency and
government representatives charged with completing the impact assessment of
the spill, and with developing a recovery strategy and options.
At the open house, you will have an opportunity to meet the members of the
Technical Committee (representatives from CN Railway and Triton
Environmental Consulting, Ministry of Environment, Fisheries and Oceans
Canada, District of Squamish, Squamish Nation, and Environment Canada), view
the displays and ask questions. Among the poster displays will be
information on the derailment site cleanup and monitoring, sodium hydroxide,
ecosystem impact assessment, and environmental monitoring.
As well, there will be a sign up sheet to participate in a Stakeholder
process at which the public can provide their input and recommendations for
consideration.

Date: Wednesday, February 8th, 2006
