B-C's mines minister is heading to southeast Alaska to meet conservationists, tribal groups and industry representatives for the first time since the Mount Polley spill. It happened a year ago when 24-million cubic metres of mine waste and water spilled into nearby lakes and waterways. Bill Bennett was invited by the Alaskan government, which arranged a week-long series of meetings. Bennett says he plans to listen closely to the concerns of the people who would be harmed most by a mining spill. (Bennett has made one other visit to Alaska since the spill and he was criticized for only meeting with mining industry representatives.)
