Meat of the Issue: Highway 1 Spill Smells Trouble in Revelstoke

REVELSTOKE, BRITISH COLUMBIA, JUL 4 – The spill caused a foul odour extending nearly half a kilometre, forcing some employees to miss work and raising concerns about wildlife attraction, city officials said.

  • On the morning of Friday, July 4, a semi-truck transporting raw meat crashed along the Trans-Canada Highway close to Revelstoke, resulting in an unspecified quantity of animal flesh being released.
  • The crash and resulting spill caused a noxious odor complaint from Industrial Park, prompting municipal bylaw officers to respond and investigate.
  • Workers at Snow White Laundry noticed a persistent meat smell nearly half a kilometre long, which disrupted some staffing, while vultures and crows gathered at the site.
  • Kait Nicol, who leads Revelstoke Bear Aware, emphasized that the scent of fermenting meat poses a clear risk by attracting bears, prompting organized efforts to remove such hazards.
  • Bylaw officers identified and worked with the property owner to remove contaminated food products promptly, reducing risks associated with bear attraction and odor nuisance.
