The Canadian PressSpray Lake Sawmill is building the bridge in the popular Kananaskis Country."Fisheries and Oceans Canada is investigating the construction of a bridge over the Highwood River," said department spokesman Rodney Drover in an email.
"There aren't any unimportant bull trout streams left," said Lorne Fitch, a longtime Alberta fisheries biologist and adjunct professor at the University of Calgary."We're down to a fraction of what we used to have and every one of those fractions is important." "It doesn't take much. The literature suggests that even as little as 10 per cent more sediment than natural background levels can have a demonstrable effect."Pictures of the construction work taken by the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society suggest heavy equipment has been moving into and across the stream bed.
Killeen pointed out the bridge, the road it connects and the clearcut it will eventually lead to are in one of the most popular recreation areas in the province.
