This is a very interesting recollection of the events surrounding the Mallory and Irvine's 1924 attempt to climb Mt. Everest by Canadian, John Kaandorp. @GrippedMagazine @EverestToday #mountainhistory #mountainculture

We found this number startling, had no idea this many people drowned in BC last year. It is a tragic number. Our deepest sympathies go out to the loved ones left behind. @Go_Fish_BC @WTAofBC @KayakAllianceBC @SFIBC @BearViewingBC

Such a tragedy, our sincere condolences go out to the family and friends for their loss. Those folks are raising money for the SAR team that searched for them through this site; https://t.co/2amaQUNVaE

It's time the BC Gov't provided a detailed, complete update on their promise in 2020 to implement “the full slate” of recommendations an expert panel known as the Old Growth Strategic Review. @PowderMatt @ChwkOutdoorClub @AncientForestBC @Conserva_North

While B.C. fumbles on its commitments, old growth falls; forest defenders are arrested; mills close; and ecosystems are pushed further toward the brink of collapse by major timber companies.

When humans are careless with their trash, why does wildlife, particularly bears always lose. During 2023, 76 bears were euthanized (nice word for killed) in Prince George alone. Tragic. @PowderMatt @ChwkOutdoorClub @BCWildlife

This is unbelievable; irresponsible and reckless behaviour. Nanaimo Mayor Krog is justified in finding this action "disturbing and upsetting." C'mon folks, grab some common sense! @BCAdvSmart @BCFireSmart @LeonardKrog @cityofnanaimo @TourismNanaimo

Nanaimo Mayor Leonard Krog said the thought of people lighting fireworks at the park is “outrageous” and those responsible should be prosecuted.

Well written commentary by Scott Ellis, CEO of the Guide Outfitters Association of BC. It certainly seems unfair that the resource extraction sectors are being compensated for loss of tenures while the adventure tourism sector is not. @BearViewingBC

This is a good idea but why are they waiting until Friday. The ban should have been instituted immediately, that would help reduce tragic possibilities. @cbcnewsbc @BCGovNews @ChwkOutdoorClub @BCAdvSmart @BCSARAssoc

Lightning paired with hot weather has prompted a new evacuation order due to a wildfire in northeastern B.C., as well as a provincewide campfire ban.

C'mon people, the BC backcountry isn't your personal trash bin, quit using it as one. Thanks to the https://t.co/aLFTAGj5zB and Tony De Bonis for cleaning up yet another pile of garbage. Attn. BC Gov't, you are needed. @BCGovNews @PowderMatt @GeorgeHeyman

The dumpsite, located along the Okanagan Connector, was reported to the province’s RAPP (Report All Poachers and Polluters) hotline.

What is up with this: "Feds delay closure of B.C.'s open-net salmon farms until 2029". Why wait until 2029, will there be any wild salmon left on BC's West Coast by then? The science seems to be pretty strong. @WTAofBC @BearViewingBC @sportfishingbc

The federal government announced Wednesday that it would delay the closure of open net salmon farms off British Columbia's coast until 2029 to facilitate a transition to closed containment systems.

Great question, why is a powerful person allowed to ignore all wildlife, wilderness habitat and environmental concerns? These transgressions happen far too regularly, across the planet. #wilderness #wildlife #sustainability @GretaThunberg #ecology

This is so unimaginably sad. Further proof that wildlife and fast moving vehicles just can't live together harmoniously. Obviously authorities and we who care need to do more. @BearViewingBC @WTAofBC @BCWildlife @CNRailway

The findings are not surprising. Question is, why is there so much garbage? Likely because a lot of us buy too much unnecessary stuff. Extra R is Rethink, Rethink is about considering how our actions affect the environment. #Reduce #Reuse #Recycle #Rethink
