Province pleads not guilty in Lemon Creek fuel spill case
By John Boivin Local Journalism Initiative
A lawyer for the BC government says provincial officials are pleading not guilty to charges they are responsible for a jet fuel spill in a Slocan Valley creek in 2013.
Lawyers for all the involved parties gathered by conference call before a judge in a Nelson courtroom Tuesday morning.
The provincial government, fuel company Executive Flight Centre and one of its employees are all co-defendants in the case.
The company and driver did not enter pleas.
