A very special place
Located just 40 kilometres northeast of Vancouver, the Upper Pitt valley is a remarkable place with hot springs and waterfalls. This area is renowned for its wild salmon and majestic wildlife, including grizzly bears, wolverines and mountain goats. Putting power lines throughout the watershed, and through neighbouring Pinecone Burke Provincial Park, would have serious repercussions for the region’s fish and wildlife populations, and set a terrible precedent for parks in BC.
