Save Craigflower Creek!

The ACS board members were recently brought up-to-date by Angela Hanes on the proposed BC Transit development on a site that the salmon-bearing Craigflower Creek runs through. Besides the adverse impact to the people who make that neighbourhood their home, BC Transit to date has made no provisions in their proposal to protect this environmentally sensitive area.

We’ve placed a Word template for the “Save Craigflower Creek” letter here, and for the “open”-minded, an Open Document format template here. Please take the time to tell our elected representatives that we actually want to protect and sustain those pesky salmon!
