B.C. coal giant penalized millions for treatment delays, 171 pollution breaches EVR Operations Limited — formally Teck Coal Limited — was penalized more than $3.6 million after failing to curb nitrate and selenium pollution

Simon Wiebe, mining & policy impacts researcher for Wildsight, said the penalties were a good start but came nowhere close the level required to deter further pollution.

“They made over $13 billion in profit over the same time period. The fines are really not large enough,” he said.

This week is National Forest Week in Canada.
B.C. harbours some of the world's most ancient and vibrant forests — home to species not found anywhere else on the planet.

We'd love to celebrate by seeing some of your favourite forest images, or hearing about your favourite forest memories.

If you're at the #Agri4D conference this week, connect with Karen Hampson. She'll be presenting a poster, highlighting our work in Uganda on regenerative agriculture: ‘"Sowing Seeds of Change: Using radio and ICTs to empower farmers to transition towards regenerative agriculture in Uganda."

It's not enough to build #RenewableEnergy projects in the North – these projects must be supported by long term local capacity by empowering local leadership and training.

“The critical aspect to it all is capacity-building, especially in smaller communities."
