B.C. bans mining north of Glacier

http://www.dailyinterlake.com/news/local_montana/article_b764b968-1607-11df-9860-001cc4c03286.html

The lieutenant governor of British Columbia announced Tuesday
that all types of mining and oil and gas development “will not
be permitted” in the province’s portion of the Flathead Valley.

It was news that was well received in Montana.

“It’s pretty significant,” said Dave Hadden of the conservation
group Headwaters Montana.

The announcement came during the “Throne Speech,” an annual address
that identifies the provincial priorities for the coming year.
