The Campbell River Environmental Committee (CREC) is a non profit society. We are almost 40 years in existence. We are the streamkeepers for the Quinsam/Campbell Rivers. We attend the Quinsam Coal Environmental Review Committee Meetings, study and distribute sampling reports from the Quinsam Coal Mine and Myra Falls Mine and communicate with the Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Mines regarding how such industries may impact wetlands and watersheds.
CREC also sits on the BC Hydro Board, The Streamkeepers Committee and the Forestry Group (MIFLAG)
