There's an excellent article in the News Leader on efforts to rehabilitate the Brunette River in the lower mainland of BC. It features longtime streamkeeper Elmer Rudolph, and well-known watershed advocates Mark Angelo and Bob Gunn from BCIT.
Reporter Michael McQuillan presents the history of the river and the terrible impact of unbridled industrialization. Fortunately, citizens and governments are gradually learning that rivers that we once treated as open sewers can be rehabilitated, and that fish and other wildlife will come back. I love to see good news like this, and hope it will only get better in the future.
