Stoney Creek in the news

George Kovacic , one of our members, has been instrumental in getting the multi-jurisdictional technical committee to study the issue about raw sewage spills from Coquitlam into Stoney Creek.

Sewage spil

This week raw sewage flowing into Stoney Creek was discussed in the House of Commons. 

Port Moody – Coquitlam MP Nelly Shin spoke on the need to pass Bill C-269 as it would, within 5 years, prohibit raw sewage from flowing into Stoney Creek and other waterways across Canada.   A clip of MP Shin’s speech is available on the following link: https://www.facebook.com/nellyshin.ca/videos/509240423848708/
