Endangered Rivers List

Thanks to PVEA (Peace Valley Environment Association) for the following item.

The nomination process for the new 2009 Endangered Rivers List is now commencing and will run through March 7. The new list will be released in late March or early April, 2009.

Nominations can be sent directly to Mark Angelo (mark_angelo@bcit.ca). The list always receives a great amount of media coverage and helps to increase public awareness while also profiling important river issues.

The list is also based on feedback from tens of thousands of British Columbians.

On the 2008 list, the Peace River was in fourth place, particularly because of renewed interest in Site C. Last year's endangered rivers backgrounder is available at www.orcbc.ca/
