'The findings add weight to a growing body of evidence that beavers may be acting as ecosystem engineers, reshaping waterways in ways that benefit not just their own survival, but that of entire landscapes.'
How Canada's buck-toothed national emblem could help fight wildfires | CBC News
New research out of the western U.S. suggests dams and ponds built by beavers can slow floods, store water and even create green firebreaks in wildfire-prone landscapes.

Our #RichmondBC mayor Malcolm Brodie has announced that he will not seek re-election. He served Richmond for a long time and it's a wonderful city to live in. Not without room for improvement, but I'd say among the best in the LM. (Perhaps I'm biased).
Thank you Malcolm for years of dedication.

I'm in tears reading this. 31 affordable units being reduced to 10 in redevelopment approved in #Surrey despite it not complying with the #housing policy of 1-1 replacment.
A man and his dog remain with nowhere to go. This is how homelessness happens.

Great feedback from users of the Steveston multi-use pathway. I took serious abuse from some for not killing this long-time planned project. I voted with integrity and belief that #roadsareforeveryone. Paid for by TransLink and DCC's. #climatesolutions #RichmondBC

BC Housing is underfunded. Ex. 9 acres in #RichmondBC redeveloping but with only an increase to market rental instead of affordable units tied to income. Gov land should never be used for market housing.

The Trans Mountain pipeline (built by Trudeau, not Harper I might add) tripled the volume of oil shipping off the west coast. How is BC obligated to embrace another pipeline before building one to the East Coast? Am I missing something? #pipelines #bcpoli #cdnpoli
