Good on the Kootenay Snowsports Society for joining this group, Columbia Valley Recreation Access Coalition, so that it couldn't push through their agenda without opposition, and for taking a stand when the group was obviously biased and not working.
"Group Withdraws From Backcountry Coalition"
And boo to Wildsight for using names on a meeting sign up sheet to apply for government grants, portraying meeting participants as "supporters" in the name of getting more money.
"Citizen's Name Misused"
"Talks Backfire" (good editorial)
I especially like:"In addition, as a member of the media I have now had to stand up in front of the group not once, not twice, but three times, to fight for my right to be there. Many (but certainly not all) people in the coalition would rather the talks about public land use be private. Some have asked to edit my stories, or to vote on whether the quotes said in a meeting are “allowed” to be used in the media."
