Two conservation groups allege B.C. Hydro has failed to meet its legal obligations to compensate for the environmental damage caused by their hydroelectric dams.

However, he said too much of the program’s funding is going to projects such as monitoring work, education such as bear awareness, and invasive species management.

The requested audit would examine the expenditure of B.C. Hydro funds to the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program and the distribution of those funds to compensate for damage done by B.C. Hydro facilities. In an email, B.C. Hydro spokesperson Simi Heer confirmed CEO Chris O’Riley’s office had received a copy of the brief.
