New Law Officially Opens B.C. Parks To Pipelines, Drilling
« on: March 31, 2014, 12:54:21 PM »

A little-known bill that will drastically alter the management of B.C. parks became law this week, creating controversy among the province's most prominent environmental and conservation organizations.

The passage of Bill 4, known as the Park Amendment Act, will make way for industrial incursions into provincial parklands including energy extraction, construction of pipelines and industry-led research.

There goes the Upper Pitt, hydro-electric plants on all the tributaries.  The only barrier was the park blocking the transmissions lines from there to Squamish.
