He said "there’s no evidence whatsoever" that hunting instills fear in #grizzly bears that are near human communities. Hunting may actually exacerbate conflict between humans and grizzly #bears, Darimont said. cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c…

"The answer is unequivocally 'no,'" said Chris Darimont, a @uvic professor and #science director for @Raincoast. He said "there’s no evidence whatsoever" that hunting instills fear in grizzly #bears that are near human communities. cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c…

More than 100 individual Canadians and groups — including the Liberal Party’s own national women commission — urged amendments to #c39 or begged the government to change course.

Listing Roberts Bank Terminal 2 before @FishOceansCAN completes and publishes its analysis on the impact on Southern Resident killer #whales “creates a reasonable assumption that the Building Canada Act is being used to avoid that determination,” @Raincoast said. #orcas nationalobserver.com/2026/10…

By translating established #scientific knowledge into clear, accessible information, the @Raincoast fact sheets aim to bridge the gap between #research and action. They provide a resource for understanding what is at stake, why these #ecosystems matter. raincoast.org/2026/10/scient…

The @Raincoast fact sheets bring together key findings on the ecological importance of the Fraser River Estuary, the role of estuarine #habitat in sustaining wild #salmon, and the cumulative pressures facing endangered Southern Resident killer #whales. raincoast.org/2026/10/scient…

In a submission to the Major Projects Office earlier this month, @Raincoast urged the government not to fast-track the project, pointing to "significant consequences for Fraser River Chinook #salmon and #endangered Southern Resident killer whales." #orcas nationalobserver.com/2026/10…
A statement from @Raincoast, said the @PortofVan would have been required to obtain a permit under the Species At Risk Act related to the whales, but Friday’s announcement overrides that process. #orcas #salmon cheknews.ca/ottawa-lists-rob…

The planned Roberts Bank Terminal 2 expansion, which is expected to add 2.4 million containers of capacity at the Port of Vancouver, the largest in the country, has officially been named a project of national interest.

The Raincoast Conservation Foundation said the port authority would have needed a Species at Risk Act permit, and that the listing overrides that process. #orcas #endangered businessexaminer.ca/bc-news/…
