Environmental compliance officers have fined a Victoria exterior washing company $11,000 for releasing a roof de-mossing agent into a creek in Sidney, B.C., killing hundreds of fish.

Elevate Exterior Washing Ltd. was found to have discharged the solution of bleach and surfactant into Reay Creek last year, causing the deaths of more than 300 fish and other creek-dwelling organisms, according to an environmental compliance action filed by the B.C. government on June 20.

A Sidney fishing association raised the alarm about the spill on June 7, 2021, telling CTV News that 320 cutthroat trout and several coho salmon were found dead. Bancroft and his co-owner were not involved in the company at the time of the incident, having only taken ownership in January of this year, he said.
