Fine for company is 'just the beginning' of justice for Heiltsuk Nation
The Kirby Corporation was fined nearly $3 million Tuesday for violating the Fisheries Act, Pacific Pilotage Act and the Migratory Birds Act. The Heiltsuk Nation, who has for two years been dealing with the devastation to their food harvesting area at Gale Creek, say no amount of money can pay off the damage done. It's time for change, chief Marilyn Slett says.
