Why This Matters: Live near the Fraser River in Coquitlam? This project could mean construction noise outside regular hours due to tidal work. The dredging and expansion will change the riverbank near Brigantine Drive. On the plus side, new marsh habitat and shoreline restoration could benefit local wildlife.

Health Canada wants to keep approving methylcyclohexenone, a natural pheromone that repels bark beetles from Douglas-fir and spruce trees. Forestry workers staple slow-release dispensers to trees before beetle season. The agency found no health or...
Why This Matters: This one's pretty niche. If you work in forestry or live near beetle-affected forests in BC or Alberta, you might care. The pheromone protects trees from destructive bark beetles without toxic pesticides. For most Canadians, this won't affect daily life.
