Right
now the BC Government is poised to transfer public ownership
rights to over 600 of its wild and scenic waterways. This could
mean the building of hundreds of Independent Power Projects (IPPs)
in watersheds throughout the province, without any adequate review
of the environmental or community impacts. This will result in
incalculable damage to wild and scenic rivers do through road
building, habitat destruction, water-diversion and a maze of
new power transmission lines.
"Howser in Peril" documents the
efforts of a concerned local citizen who set out to explore the
endangered Howser and Glacier Creek Valleys located in the Purcell
Mountain Range north of Kaslo, BC. The idea of loosing this pristine
region to a private corporation is now set to become a reality
as this massive project is currently waiting for final approval.
Please let this film inspire yourself to become further educated
on this issue and then work to notify the public! This has become
a subject far grander in nature than just the damming of our
BC Rivers and streams to generate more electricity. Read between
the lines my friends! BC still has a healthy, intact supply of
what many countries to the south of us don't! These are our remaining
freshwater reserves and very few people have ever had private
control over them - At least up until now...
