A man has been fined $70,000 for excavation work he ordered on the Sunshine Coast in November 2021 that led to the death of dozens of salmon eggs.

A judge imposed the fine on George Winkler in Sechelt provincial court last month, and the sentencing decision was posted online this week.
 

The penalty stems from Winkler's actions on a property in Roberts Creek, B.C., where he has a one-eighth ownership interest.

In May 2020, Fisheries and Oceans Canada received a report of a backhoe being used on the property, specifically in Stephens Creek, which flows through it, according to the decision.
