Eco-battle emerging over fish and multibillion-dollar resort

Two other B.C. rivers share the same chemistry as the Brohm, the Dean and the Blackwater.

A classic fish-versus-development battle is heating up in Squamish
at the proposed site of a multibillion-dollar ski resort and housing
development.

Proponents of the Garibaldi At Squamish project at
Brohm Ridge north of town are pitching their development as a financial
boon for the economy of the community and the province, offering
thousands of jobs, tourism activity and an estimated $8 billion in
construction activity and spinoffs.

However a new environmental
study obtained by The Vancouver Sun indicates that the project would
devastate the Brohm River -- one of the most productive wild steelhead
and salmon streams in B.C.
