Chetwynd club leader fights bear hunting ban push
Larry Nichol of the Chetwynd Red and Gun Club argues against a ban on bear hunting led by Anthony Marr of the Western Canada Wilderness Committee. Marr seeks volunteers to back a signature drive possibly triggering a 1999 referendum to end bear hunting in British Columbia. Nichol warns a ban could boost poaching and harm conservation efforts, while stressing hunters’ role in public safety and wildlife management.

Derailment at Mt. Lemoray injures no one reported
BC Rail officials say thirteen cars derailed from a 107 car southbound train at 4 05 Sunday afternoon about 48 miles south of Chetwynd. The cars carried aspen chips lumber and LPG with three LPG cars on their side and three in Pine River not leaking. By Monday a hazardous materials team was on site and the area secured. Pumping LPG is needed before uprighting and track reopening could take at least 24 hours. The cause remains under investigation.
