Fish farm rights are ocean management rights for B.C. For coastal Nations, the ocean has always been the backbone of our culture, history, and way of life. Aquaculture and mariculture are not new to us, no matter how recent the modern methods of salmon farming are compared to traditional terrestrial agriculture. Those Nations who want to pursue fish farming in our waters should be able and trusted to do so. We believe we can help protect wild Pacific salmon in our waters by offering the world an alternative to that dwindling resource, and by putting dollars gained from salmon farming back into wild salmon enhancement and watershed rehabilitation.

A young bobcat that paid a visit to a family in Peachland, B.C., this week has quickly become the cat seen around the world. © Sarah Penton/CBC Naomi Miller is shown inside her home in Peachland, B.C., about 25 kilometres southwest of Kelowna in the Interior. Miller says she would have missed the bobcat's visit had it not been for a daughter who was home sick from school.

“It’s a funny game,” Seguin said after Thursday’s win. The night he gets six Grade-A chances, he doesn’t score, but that’s how it goes.”The Stars have been trying to find consistency from a second line that’s been in flux for most of the season.

Second period blues: Though the Stars did not allow any goals in the second period Thursday night, they have been outscored 33-32 in middle frames this season.
