As construction on the twinning of the Trans Mountain pipeline continues around the Fraser Valley, concerns about how the creation of the twinned line is impacting the Coquihalla River salmon run is at an all-time high.

In a video posted four days ago on TikTok by the account @kaska_cat, a man can be seen confronting two pipeline workers near the river at a construction site, just east of Hope.

“They killed the run,” he can be heard saying, before being told to leave the area by two of the workers.

“They’re killing them all. The food fishery is going on right now and they’re killing all the salmon!” the man continues.
