We live on two rivers and seem proud of this but we continue to fail to provide wildlife corridors.
One of my first memories was watching the bears at the local garbage dump. Right here in the Bowl. Yes, people, some of you are living on a dump.
Seems basic but no, we allow over five acres to be clearcut over in Heritage, right at the river. And let’s not get into the development down on the Fraser River. And again, no wildlife corridor. People love their flowering trees but are too busy to harvest the fruit. When bears are desperate for food and their natural habitat has been destroyed, they come looking and we sure do deliver. Apples, chokecherries, garbage cans and death. Congratulations.
