Sad treeplanting news
On Thursday a crew barge transporting treeplanters in Burke Channel near Bella Bella, BC ran into trouble when the boat's bow hatch opened unexpectedly. Several passengers were ejected into rough waters. One planter is dead and another is still missing. No names have been released until next-of-kin are notified. For those who've worked in the area, it's likely many of us will know the people involved.
I only found out about this yesterday, when my stat counter blew up with hits by those looking for more info. If you've Googled your way here for that reason, you can find coverage at Canwest and also the North-Island Gazette.
