Lincoln County has arranged for a bus to shuttle anyone interested to the Columbia River Treaty Negotiations Meeting in Kalispell, March 20th. The bus seats 50 people so it will be on a first come, first serve basis. If you wish to reserve a seat in advance, you can by contacting Commissioner Jerry Bennett: (406) 283-2319.
The bus will leave at 3:00 p.m. from the shopping center parking lot.
The Columbia River Treaty forms an agreement between Canada and the United States concerning development and operation of hydrodams on the upper portions of the Columbia River.
The 1964 Treaty gives Canada the right to divert 26 percent of the volume of the Kootenai into the Columbia River before it comes into Montana at Canal Flats, which separates the headwaters of the Columbia, which flows north at its beginning, from the south-flowing Kootenai River. The Kootenai flows through Montana through the Libby Dam before flowing back north into Canada to join the Columbia River at Castlegar, BC.
