Salmon Dance On The Brunette River

Here is a great video of Salmon spawning in the Brunette river taken in October 2009 in the urban area of New Westminster BC. This is good news because the river is so close to a dense urban area.

However the key point here is an illustration of how development can not only harm the environment, but completely destroy Salmon bearing creeks, streams, and rivers.

A ski resort in the Cayoosh would devastate the environment, and have a disastrous effect on the waters that flow down from the Melvin Creek Valley through the watercourses that flow from it.

Indigenous Peoples that live in St'at'imc Territory depend upon Salmon as a food source as they have for thousands of years. Thoughtless and ill planned development within this pristine wilderness environment would result in the loss of an important source of food which cannot be tolerated.
