Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) has sent a regulatory inspection team to a Trans Mountain pipeline expansion construction site in Hope, B.C., where dead salmon have washed ashore. |

Trans Mountain crews began permitted work in the Coquihalla River at the start of the month, where spawning salmon have begun their run a few weeks earlier than usual.
Since then, Hope resident Kate Tairyan has shared several photos and videos of dead salmon near the construction site. She has even cut some of them open and found them to be full of eggs. |
