What turned the water pink? BC greenhouse worker made mistake with flower dye - Campbell River Mirror

It was a non-toxic flower dye from a greenhouse that made a Chilliwack waterway turn pink last week. Leo Quik, who owns the greenhouse operation on McSween Road, said a worker was dyeing flowers for Easter when they sent the dye down the wrong drain. Dark pink water could be seen dripping out of a large white pipe at the rear of the greenhouse, directly into the Camp Slough last Friday. A resident called the ministry of environment. “The substance released into the waterway was completely non-toxic, and we confirmed that in discussions with the supplier of the product, which came from a reputable manufacturer,” said Quik. READ MORE: Slough turns pink He said he hired an environmental consultant to help them contain the discoloured water and plan out remediation options. “We believe there is no immediate danger now to either the local wildlife or the environment.” Quik’s Farm, which has operating for 29 years, employs up to 70 people and emphasizes environmental sustainability with best practices for growing and handling. “We have set handling p...

Fresh ideas at Did I Mention Flowers?

Dave Algers brings 40 years of floral experience to Did I Mention Flowers, which recently opened in downtown Chilliwack. — image credit: Sam Bates Did I Mention Flowers has opened up on Mill Street, offering a fresh look at florals. After 40 years in the floral industry, head designer Dave Alger has seen and arranged it all. But he decided right from the beginning that he would be a leader rather than a follower with his designs. "You need to keep it interesting, and you need to keep it fresh and alive," he said. Fresh is certainly the perfect way to describe this shop. You can feel it in the air, and catch its scent from the moment you walk in. The displays of flowers over the signature antique pianos and reclaimed furniture pieces are constantly changing. Each of the expertly sculpted floral arrangements, even down to the vases that contain them, are intricate and unique. Growing up in Sidney B.C., Dave first became interested in florals as a youth. "I'd go out into the woods and pick whatever I could find, for church displays," he said. His interest carried him to the shop window of a lo... (Chilliwack Progress)

Here's what made the news in the second half of 2015

July The record-breaking warm weather in Chilliwack continued to make headlines through the long, hot summer. The heat was blistering at times, and the town suffered through “easily the hottest June in Chilliwack in over 120 years,” according to volunteer weather observer Roger Pannett. Temperatures were hovering at about four degrees above normal. It was also the driest June, with a paltry 8.5 mm of rain, since last time it set a record low in 1965 of only 12 mm of rain, he said. The city added $1 million to the road rehab budget for 2015, and that meant thousands of extra tonnes of hot mix asphalt were ready to go down. The 2015 Asphalt Rehabilitation and Shoulder Paving tender went to GTB Construction for $2.138 million after a council vote in May. That’s almost a million more than the year before. Roads getting fresh blacktop: Lindell, Edward, Ryder Lake, Sumas Prairie, Thornton, Airport, Yale, Young, First, Bailey and Luckakuck. An air quality advisory issued for Metro Vancouver was extended to the Fraser Valley in ear... (Chilliwack Progress)

Lower Mainland homicide investigators busy in 2015

Mainland homicide investigators. Sixty people were murdered or died under suspicious circumstances in 2015 in the region stretching from Whistler to Chilliwack, according to data compiled by The Vancouver Sun. The violence started early in the year when gangster Arundeep Cheema was gunned down in the driveway of an associate in North Delta. Like many other gang cases, his murder remains unsolved. “It remains an active investigation but there have been no arrests at this time,” Delta Police Acting Sgt. Sarah Swallow said Wednesday. The region’s largest murder squad — the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team — opened 39 files in 2015, with the number of confirmed victims or suspicious deaths totalling 43. IHIT’s Sgt. Stephanie Ashton said not all of the cases have been made public. “In some cases these files are not confirmed homicides or didn’t require public notice,” she said. Vancouver Police had 15 victims of homicide in 2015, the highest number since 2011. There were just nine murders in the city in 2014, six in 2013 and eight in 2012, Const. Brian Montague said. Charges have been recommended or laid in 10 of the 2015 deaths, Montague said. VPD’s unsolved cases from the year include the fatal stabbing of Scott Singh, 24, and Tony Pelletier, 37, at the West Hotel on March 14 and th... (Vancouver Sun)
