The Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB) has vaguely welcomed the federal government’s funding announcement, arguing it offers virtually nothing for prevention efforts to keep Zebra and Quagga mussels out of BC.

The Nature Trust of British Columbia (NTBC) have expanded their Skaha Lake Eastside conservation complex with the purchase of 29.2 hectares of land that provide vital habitat for bighorn sheep.
