The most important accomplishment thus far has been the society’s initiative in forming the BC Rivers Alliance (BCRA).
The BCRA is a province wide network of environmental, political, and recreational organizations that have come together by sharing the core values of opposing the current government’s (“goldrush”) strategy regarding privately developed hydroelectric energy projects. Four BCRA meetings were organized by the BC CPS at the Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) head office in Vancouver to coordinate this province-wide opposition. Furthermore, the BCRA issued an official letter to the government aiming to criticize its current policy. The letter was also sent to 180 members of the Government, the Opposition, and Mayors across the province.
Currently, the BCRA consists of 15 member organizations and information concerning the alliance can be found at www.bc-creeks.org/wiki/.
