| CN Rail was in a Prince Rupert court room on Thursday facing charges on environmental issues |
Canadian National Railways spent the week in court in Prince Rupert and when the case came to a conclusion on Thursday, the railway had pled guilty to using pesticide without a required Pest Management Plan in place, a violation of the Integrated Pest Management Act.

As a result of the Judgement , the railway will pay a penalty of 100,000 dollars, the majority of which is to be directed towards the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, which works on fish, wildlife and habitat restoration in the Skeena Region.
The details of the court judgment and penalty phase were relayed by the Conservation Officer Service with an update to their Social Media stream today.
the joint investigation between the Conservation Officer Service and Environment and Climate Change Canada was launched after ECCC officers travelling along Highway 16 noticed a spray truck on the CN Rail tracks discharging a mist from the front and rear spray booms of the vehicle.
