The Site C dam has a long and convoluted history, dating from its first proposal the mid-1970s to the start of ground clearing for construction this month.
And the debate is continues.
Port Moody biologist Adrienne Peacock, who has lived in the Peace Valley and has followed the controversial project closely since the 1980s, will give a slide show at the September meeting of the Burke Mountain Naturalists; her presentation will outline the history of dam building in northern B.C. and the history of the Site C dam in particular.
The focus of her talk will be the wildlife and wildlife habitats that will be lost by the flooding an 83 km stretch of the Peace River.
The BMN meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 8 in the hall of Como Lake United Church located on the corner of Marmont Street and King Albert Avenue in Coquitlam. Everyone is welcome to attend and there is no charge.
