Wood River- Atla Energy Corporation

For now, the run-of-river projects proposed in Wood River are on hold! Atla Energy says that they are re-evaluating their situation. However, we still encourage you to let politicians now that you do not want these projects to resurface.

Help protect the Wood River:

The Wood River is a remarkable remote wilderness ecosystem now under threat of a run-of-river hydroelectric power project, as are hundreds of other rivers across BC. You can take a video tour and learn about the Wood River by clicking here.

We encourage you to help raise public awareness with neighbors and friends about the Wood River and about all IPP's. Write a letter-to-the-editor to your local newspaper and also send to the Vancouver Sun for provincial coverage. Send letters to the Premier, your local MLA and the Ministry of Natural Resource Operations to ask for:

A province-wide environmental assessment concerning the cumulative effects of run-of-river hydroelectric projects in BC.
A moratorium on all private run-of-the-river hydroelectric projects pending the results of the above assessment.
A mandatory environmental assessment for every run-of-the-river hydroelectric project within BC.
Reversal of Bill 30 rulings pertaining to new energy projects and reinstatement of local governments' right to accept or refuse run-of-the-river hydroelectric projects.
Further efforts towards energy conservation instead of impacting remote wilderness areas in never-ending bid to increase capacity.
