Discovery of 100,000 dead fish sparked an ivestigation, into why there was little or no investigation. This region just east of Vancouver BC, draining into Pitt River and onto the Pacific Ocean, serves as the starting point for many Salmon that return years later. The cause of this fish kill needs to be found, and enforcement to managing this important region, that also is home to many birds and animals who rely on this river system.

Excellent job Jack, and co. Thanks you for all your hard work and bringing this to the attention of a much wider audience, This is an issue that should not be swept under the carpet. We have to preserve this wonderful resource right in Vancouver's backyard.
