Babine Lake, situated in the Skeena River watershe

Babine Lake, situated in the Skeena River watershed, produces ~ 90% of Skeena sockeye salmon, and carries great significance to Lake Babine Nation.

Bell and Granisle mines, which closed in 1992 and 1982, respectively, were both linked to negative aquatic impacts in the lake while they were operational. The report investigates monitoring related to these mines over more recent years.

Today, SkeenaWild Conservation Trust and the Refor

Today, SkeenaWild Conservation Trust and the Reform BC Mining released a new map pointing to over a hundred known and potentially contaminated mine waste sites that threaten to pollute waters, fish habitat, and communities across the province.

“This map highlights dozens of mine sites that are polluting or putting our waters and communities at risk of contamination. We need to reform mining laws in B.C. to put safety and clean water first,” said Nikki Skuce, Co-chair, BC Mining Law Reform

Meanwhile, BC Government officials are meeting with the mining industry all week to talk about Canadian-sourced minerals’ role in a “green economy.” But dealing with the mine pollution already in existence doesn’t seem to be on the agenda.

Help us raise funds for our Watershed Discovery Camps!

For this year's Giving Tuesday, we have decided to raise funds for SkeenaWild Watershed Discovery Camps! The camps offer outdoor environmental education summer experiences for youth between the ages of 5 and 14 that incorporate adventure, social interaction, skill development, and meaningful connections with the Skeena Watershed.

We believe every child deserves the opportunity to play, have fun, and make friends in a safe camp environment.

Our fundraising goal is $5000, and donations will be opened until Dec. 4th.

Every donation will enter you into a draw for a SkeenaWild Swag Giveaway!
