URGENT: BC Liberal Government's Proposed Forest Giveaway Bill Expected THIS WEEK - as soon as TOMORROW (March 12)!

Please FORWARD far and wide!

URGENT: BC Liberal Government's Proposed Forest Giveaway Bill Expected THIS WEEK - as soon as TOMORROW (March 12)!

SEND a MESSAGE RIGHT NOW to BC's politicians to rescind their TFL expansion bill at: www.BCForestMovement.com

Already over 2600 people have sent messages to BC's politicians - get your friends and family to do the same!

As soon as tomorrow, the BC Liberal government is expected to introduce a proposed new law, Bill 8 (Section 24), to expand Tree Farm Licences (TFL's) to give major companies exclusive logging rights over vast areas of public forest lands - to the detriment of conservation, communities, and First Nations.

The proposed bill could go through its critical 2nd reading THIS WEEK and as soon as TOMORROW.

Across BC, our old-growth forests and forestry jobs are endangered. PLEASE COME this Sat., Mar. 16 to our "PRE-ELECTION RALLY for ANCIENT FORESTS and BC FORESTRY JOBS" in Victoria to send the strongest message to BC's politicians - and recruit as many friends and family to attend! (11:30am Centennial Square, 12:00 noon Legislature, Victoria - see www.BCForestMovement.com for details) We have a first rate line-up of speakers.

Almost 1000 people are now pre-confirmed to attend Saturday's rally! Do so on our website at www.BCForestMovement.com or through Facebook at: www.facebook.com/events/576873939007340/
