The inlet is a beat: how we'll cover the environment
The paper is named for a body of water. The Environment desk exists so that the inlet, the mountains and the rain are covered as news, not scenery.
Around here the environment is not a section you visit occasionally — it is infrastructure. The air in fire season, the creeks under the streets, the shoreline the region is built along: each is a running story with documents, decisions and money attached, and this desk will cover them that way.
Expect the coverage to be specific: named waterways, cited monitoring, decisions traced to the bodies that made them. General alarm is not reporting.
If you steward, study or work on any piece of this — streamkeepers, researchers, crews — the desk wants to hear from you: tips@burrardbrief.ca.
