Yale treaty promotes conflict

Chilliwack Progress

 On April 26, Robert Freeman published an article entitled “Yale treaty seen as good economic news for Fraser Canyon.” The article cited Dennis Anderson, Yale area director at the Fraser Valley Regional District and a member of the Yale Treaty Advisory Committee as saying that “the Yale Agreement would benefit everyone in the Fraser Canyon area.” Dennis Anderson is profoundly mistaken. Rather than providing greater economic certainty and social stability, the proposed treaty will result in continued and unnecessary conflict.

 


Sockeye salmon face overheating due to climate change

Sockeye salmon in the Fraser River are facing such critically warm water in the summer that populations will either have to adapt or die as climate change pushes temperatures even higher, according to new research at the University of British Columbia.

With oceans, lakes and rivers warming worldwide, the study holds a warning that fish stocks are facing increasingly dire environmental challenges.

Treaty smells fishy to Sto:lo Nation

The Province - Brian Lewis

If the B.C. government thinks that a reportedly imminent signing of a pact with the Yale First Nation will automatically give federal and provincial politicians another photo opportunity and bring aboriginal peace to the upper Fraser Valley, it's mistaken.

At least, Victoria's best-laid treaty plans will certainly sink like an end-of-cycle sockeye if the Sto:lo Tribal Council has input.
