This summer we learned that the BC government is not going to require a full environmental assessment for the Zincton back country resort proposed for east of New Denver. The plan faces some stiff local opposition including from the Autonomous Sinixt. Today we hear from wildlife biologist Amber Peters with the Valhalla Wilderness Society about many concerns with the project.
