CHURCHILL FALLS , N.L. — Officials in central Labrador say the wildfire threatening the evacuated town of Churchill Falls remained stable Saturday, but there was no sign of significant rain in the forecast.
Meanwhile, Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro, the utility that operates the massive Churchill Falls hydroelectric generating station, issued a statement saying the Mount Hyde Lake fire was still burning on the south side of the Churchill River, which stands between the fire and the town. While the generating station was operating as usual, the utility issued a statement Saturday saying there was concern that smoke from the blaze, which is about six kilometres away, could affect insulators on the power lines, causing "trips" that could shut down the flow of electricity.
Alberta's government says it is "actively exploring" the use of every legal option, including a constitutional challenge or the use of the Alberta Sovereignty Act, to push back against federal legislation that will soon become law.That legislation is Bill C-59, which would require companies to provide evidence to back up their environmental claims. It is currently awaiting royal assent.
