We are excited to announce that we have just published a new report entitled Keep Our Rivers Wild.

  This is the latest update in our campaign to protect BC's creeks and rivers from being dammed and diverted by private power companies. 

This new publication contains updates on the failed lobbying effort by the BC government to weaken California's environmental standards in an attempt to find an export market for BC's private river power. It also exposes the alarming new trend of private power companies targeting lakes as well as our streams and rivers for private power development.

There is also some good news - in places like the Klinaklini River and Glacier and Howser Creeks local citizens have successfully beaten back attempts to privatize their streams and wilderness areas. You can read the full report here for all the latest on this fight to keep our streams and rivers wild.

Ready to take action? If after checking out the report you want to do more, please think about taking some newspapers to distribute in your community. Contact us at emma@wildernesscommittee.org and let us know how many copies you would like and your mailing address and we will get them in the mail to you ASAP. Then on your next visit to your local coffee shop, library or doctor's office, help get the word out by just dropping off a couple of copies.

Let's work together to build the province-wide movement to keep BC's beautiful wild rivers and lakes free from being dammed and diverted. Together we can stop the private hydro power developers from ruining our waterways.
