A Victoria exterior cleaning company has been hit with a five-figure fine from the province after bleach spilled into a Sidney creek through a storm drain last year, killing hundreds of fish.
A two-day investigation recovered a total of 318 cutthroat trout, three cohos, 13 sculpins and 11 sticklebacks dead in the creek.

This is what oversight is SUPPOSE to do. Why did they have the spill, and why did they think they would get away with it...should also be considered.
Oh, come on!!! These people need to get their shit together. This should be jail time.
One year later and way too little of a fine
Shut them down, not just a fine.
Another 'slap on the wrist' fine. Useless gov't
