Post-Collapse, a Closer Look at the Red Chris Mine Expansion | The Tyee The company’s plans are on BC’s fast-track list. Experts say the proposed ‘block caving’ method brings new risks.

Why did the Red Chris mine collapse, trapping several workers? @zoeyunker.bsky.social explains a mining method that can extend the life of mines, but comes with safety and environmental risks thetyee.ca/News/2025/08...

Federal government assumes control of Clinton Creek remediation in the Yukon | CBC News Decades after the Clinton Creek asbestos mine was abandoned, the federal government has assumed control of the site and a new remediation effort is underway.

Yet another long-abandoned #mine goes into federal remediation. With costs for these in the billions, isn’t it time for the industry to pony up to clean up its historical messes?

"The BC NDP’s decision to financially support another liquefied natural gas (LNG) project is irresponsible."

Chief Na’moks, a Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chief, is force to reckon with. He is a relentless voice for his people, for the land and for true justice. It’s a damn hard road but he never fails to bring the fun. It’s a real honour to call you a friend and mentor, and have your endorsement!

Mainly sunny today in #Kamloops and it is getting hotter, heat warnings are up with sun and a high of 35 today, up to 37 tomorrow and Thursday. Keep hydrated and find somewhere to keep cool…have a good one!

With the upcoming by-election in Battle River-Crowfoot ....

Lillooet hospital emergency room to close over Monday night #Kamloops

Busy day at the Kamloops farmers market this past Saturday. Nice to see all the BC Green supports working and shopping at the market.

'Something fundamentally wrong': More disruptions hit maternity care in Kamloops, Prince George Expectant mothers in Kamloops and Prince George may have to travel to deliver their babies due to a shortage of obstetricians.

Long past time for action. We need new leadership in our healthcare system in BC.

Retailers on Victoria street have resisted making it car free for years as they worry about losing parking. Downtown Kamloops is usually dead, but when they make three blocks car-free, there are more people here than I have ever seen walking around on a random weekend evening. Car free spaces work.
