-I remember all the pink and blue colours spewing out of it
-Huh? When?
-Almost every day was a different colour. The pipe from the paper mill is still on the other side. The river goes right past well 6 for the towns drinking water. When did they stop dumping the resins in the river?
-It does need a clean-up. Would be a great parkette, yes there is such a thing!
-We were forever swimming and exploring in the culvert and where it deepens from the drop there. Also further down stream a bit on the other side of the road, the creek drops in elevation again there. I don't recall any colours in the water? Late 70's, early 80's.
-50-60's. Nobody knows how deep the chemicals go from the ponds on Mountainview.
-Jezzus. 😕 Crayfish and minnows were plentiful, and none we found had two heads or anything, so fingers crossed our DNA remains unaffected!? Lol.
-The stench would sit in the valley at the bottom of Mountainview and hit you as you drove down the hill. They had sprayers to minimize the smell, but that never worked
-my mom told me about this.. she said it was a different colour almost everyday
-Magnetta was a goodie. Sometime the colour would just be a trickle down the right shoreline, other times the whole river was the colour of the day at the coating mill.
-Colour depended on the paper they were processing at the mill. Late 50s early 60s when it stopped. Rather a jarring sight. Before your time
-Paper mills and air and water quality were at odds in those day. The sulphur smell was the signature aroma in places like Cornwall and Prince George to make the paper in the first place.
-oh yes, many days walking to school the river would be a different colour. I used to think it was quite magnificent ..
