B.C. Minister of Environment Terry Lake is releasing the latest update to government's Tsunami Debris Management Plan in advance of a potential increase in tsunami debris that may begin washing up on B.C.'s coastline this winter.

Keeping B.C.'s beaches and coastline clean year-round is vitally important to the protection of our aquatic life and ecosystems, which is why the B.C. government is partnering with the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup to hold cleanup events in communities throughout the province from Sept. 15 - 23, 2012.

If you own an electric vehicle or have ever thought of purchasing one, it will now be easier to recharge and keep moving with the introduction of 454 new charging stations in communities throughout the province.

B.C. has appointed Geoff Plant to serve as chief legal strategist for government as cross-examination of Northern Gateway pipelines (NGP) on their Enbridge Northern Gateway Project begins in Edmonton, Minister of Environment Terry Lake announced today.

Camping reservations at British Columbia's world-renowned provincial parks have set a new all-time record in 2012, climbing above 100,000 for the first time.
