The launch of a new online database will make it easier for British Columbians to keep track of the people, businesses and industries running afoul of B.C.'s environmental rules.

Comments are being accepted until Sunday, Oct. 2, 2011 on a discussion paper released today as part of a comprehensive review of the Sunshine Coast timber supply area.

Premier Christy Clark made the following statement in recognition of B.C. Day, Monday, August 1.

Recreational users are advised that the Bobtail Lake Recreation Site will be temporarily closed due to site reconstruction and gravel hauling between Monday, Aug. 8 and Monday, Aug. 15, 2011.

The Cunningham Pass (3100) Forest Service Road will remain closed between 21 and 26 kilometres as a result of severe washouts and slides.

Is it sunny? Or is it raining? Only one thing is for certain - the B.C. Day long weekend is around the corner and people will be heading outdoors, so be sure to check open burning restrictions at your destination before you light that campfire.

Effective immediately, the new allowable annual cut for the Revelstoke timber supply area will be 225,000 cubic metres, chief forester Jim Snetsinger announced today.

Premier Christy Clark made the following statement in recognition of B.C. Day, Monday, August 1: "B.C. Day is a time to celebrate all of the things that are most important in our lives - the friends, families and neighbours who mean so much to us, the many blessings and privileges that we enjoy and the very special nature of this place that we call home."

British Columbia is deploying additional forest fire personnel to Ontario, while another group returns home.

As 101 firefighters currently in Ontario reach their maximum amount of deployment days and return to B.C., five 20-person unit crews and an agency representative will depart for Ontario to replace them.
