Lemon Creek Trial In 2016

A trial over the fuel spill into Lemon Creek nearly two years ago will be held in Nelson between April 18 and 28, 2016. The date was set at the Nelson courthouse on Tuesday.

Slocan Valley resident Marilyn Burgoon has launched a private prosecution against the  Calgary-based company Executive Flight Centre and the BC government under a provision of the Fisheries Act that states “no person shall deposit or permit the deposit of a deleterious substance of any type in water frequented by fish.”
