Up to 90 per cent of a Burrard Inlet oil spill would reach shoreline in hours” The Vancouver Sun reports today with the launch of an oil spill animation model.
“The model demonstrates that nowhere is safe in Burrard Inlet,†says Tsleil-Waututh Nation Chief Maureen Thomas.

The independent spill trajectory model was created for the City of Vancouver and City Of Burnaby,
