Resource Forum to Hear from Galore Creek

By 250 News

Prince George, B.C. - The Natural Resource Forum  underway at the Prince George Civic Centre, will  hear from the head of  Nova Gold today.  Nova Gold is one of the partners behind the Galore Creek project.

The multi billon dollar project  was to  have created more than a thousand jobs, and  would have been the key to the electrification of the  Hghway 37 corridor.  That  is  on hold as  the project has come in way over budget,  mostly because of  the development of a tailings pond.

Also on tap at the forum  today, Prince George, Peace River M-P Jay Hill will be making an announcement on  further measures to  cvontrol the spread of the mountain pine beetle.  The key goal of this  effort will be to  set up  targeted spreac control measures.

There is  a great deal of concern the  beetle will  make it into the  boreal forest, which could cause  havoc  right across the country.
