EDITOR, Burnco Rock Products Limited of Calgary, Alberta has submitted a proposal to the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office to site a gravel mine at McNab Creek along Howe Sound.

EDITOR, As a mountain biker in Squamish it is one of the inevitable facts of life one must face. Riding the Test of Metal is a rite of passage for our biking community.

EDITOR, On Aug. 4, 2006, the Westwood Anette cargo ship was cut open in Squamish. Twenty-nine thousand litres of fuel oil (diesel) was spilled into Howe Sound. Two days later, I started working with Quantum Environmental on the clean-up.
