Goldstream, located on Vancouver Island, ran neon green yesterday. Someone added a flourescent dye to the water. The popular salmon stream, running through a provincial park, became as a result the focus of a small media frenzy (with 75 news sources carrying the story online). According to CTV a smiliar incident occurred last summer on the Salmo River in interior British Columbia. Is the dye non-toxic? What motivated this neon statement? Is this performance art?
