BC Government to get a deferral on old growth from first nations.

On November 2 the provincial government announced that it would be working in partnership with First Nations to defer the harvest of 2.6 million hectares of BC’s most at-risk old growth forests. Logging deferrals are viewed as a temporary measure – as recommended in the 2020 Old Growth Strategic Review – to allow for the development of a new approach to sustainable forest management that prioritizes ecosystem health.

November 1st-7th is crime prevention week. The most helpful thing a citizen can do to observe this week is to report crimes. Reporting will give you a leg up on civics and what is available to make safety a reality in your community.

The first way and the least intrusive is to call 911, the second is to call the listed non-Emergency number to the police, and the third is to report online. Online reporting only takes property crimes under $5000.00 and is less interactive.

The police are on alert this week for public interaction so this would be a good time to be aware and use your ability if indeed you are in that position. Good luck
