VICTORIA
— Horrified nature-lovers at Goldstream Provincial Park watched as the
Goldstream River turned bright green late Wednesday afternoon.
The fluorescent green colouring appeared to start about 500 metres on
the Victoria side of the entrance to the park and, over the course of
an hour, the substance flowed down into the environmentally sensitive
estuary.
By 5:30 p.m. the river, known for its dramatic salmon runs, eagles and other wildlife, was back to its normal colour.
Ministry of Environment teams were
immediately sent to the area to investigate and members of Langford Fire
Department collected samples for analysis.
No dead fish or animals had been found by early evening.
Earlier in the day a fountain beside Veterans Memorial Parkway in
Langford also turned bright green, said Langford Fire Chief Bob Beckett.
