Flames threaten Marble Canyon as tourists evacuated nearby
About 100 tourists at Marble Canyon camp ground near the British Columbia border were told to leave as flames moved within three miles. No one reported missing or injured by RCMP. Three members of a Toronto family were rescued by helicopter from Kootenay National Park where the fire started by lightning. Banff official Keith Plowman said the blaze would not overrun Marble Canyon but guests at Storm Mountain Lodge near the border were ordered to depart after the fire neared within one mile. Drifting smoke closed the Banff Windermere highway to Radium Hot Springs. Parks stay open and travel to Banff and Kootenay parks will not be affected though some lodges might lose business while the highway remains closed. The fire, driven by high winds, grew to over three square miles before easing late evening as humidity rose. Water bombers used the Trans-Canada Highway west of Banff as a landing strip. cars were rerouted and aircraft parked on the road. About 200 firefighters and five bulldozers battled the blaze.

BC loggers union reaches settlement before strike
In Vancouver a near 1 hour contract deal ended a dispute with the IWA over vacations as 4,000 loggers faced a walkout. Salaries rose 36 cents to 2.76 per hour on a two year pact. The union split over vacation terms and two negotiators criticized the settlement while some leaders praised it as realistic. Shells of discontent echoed in Northern Island camps and with carpenters and shingle workers groups expressing disappointment. The agreement may affect pulp and paper talks and East Kootenays mining disputes.

Postmen Prepare for Strike July 18 in Canada
