Columbia Valley Pioneer staff
U.S. officials announced last week that they are pausing negotiations with Canada on an amended Columbia River Treaty.
Since the announcement residents here in the Upper Columbia Valley, as well as throughout other parts of the Columbia Basin in the Kootenay region, have wondered what effects they may see on programs funded through the Columbia Basin Trust (CBT).
B.C. Minister of Energy and Climate Solutions Adrian Dix is scheduled to give an update on the topic next week over Zoom at 7 p.m. Mountain Time on Tuesday, March 25. Citizens wishing to register for the Zoom session can do so at ca01web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_7sv70tIIRJWK1LCD51Mrig#/registration.
