Last July, I raced a wildfire.

 

I was on a four-day canoe trip with my father in the stunning wilderness of northern Saskatchewan, our favourite father-daughter tradition.

 

On the first day of the trip, we were flown up the river from our final destination by a small prop-plane, dropped miles from the nearest mark of human civilization. Out the window of the jet, I saw a wildfire raging in the not-too-distant distance. From the safety of a jet window, it was remarkable and chilling; the power and the destruction it contained.

Trans Mountain says the recent heavy rainfall caused a 'settlement' adjacent to the Mary Hill Bypass, forcing two lanes to close for commuter safety.

Westbound traffic is only partially getting through along a major Port Coquitlam route for a third straight day.

An apparent "sinkhole" is believed to be the reason for the continued closure on the Mary Hill Bypass between Shaughnessy Street and United Boulevard and has been brought to the attention of many groups, including one against the construction of the Trans Mountain pipeline (TMX).
