An enormous landslide that tore through a remote valley in B.C.'s Central Coast region and spilled into Bute Inlet in November has put the beleaguered salmon stocks in the area at further risk, according to the elected chief of the local First Nation.

Homalco First Nation Chief Darren Blaney is planning to visit the slide area — about 120 kilometres north of Powell River and 220 kilometres northwest of Vancouver — by helicopter on Wednesday, but he told CBC News it's clear from photos that the slide was extremely destructive, pushing boulders down the valley and crushing dislodged trees.
