April 11th Victoria Town Hall Meeting: No Pipelines, No Tankers, No Problem

Kinder Morgan Town Hall: No Pipelines, No Tankers, No Problem

by  Sierra Club BC with Wilderness Committee

Enbridge isn’t the only pipeline company in town. The US energy company Kinder Morgan plans to build a new pipeline to Burnaby, bring over 400 tankers a year carrying dirty oil past Victoria, and put the BC coast at risk of oil spills. It’s up to us to stop them.

Please join us for an evening of conversation on pipelines, tankers and climate change. Speakers will include Caitlyn Vernon (Coastal Campaigner and author of Nowhere Else on Earth); Ben West of ForestEthics Advocacy, Chief Andy Thomas of the Esquimalt First Nation, and Mayor Dean Fortin of Victoria.



Kinder Morgan Town Hall:
No Pipelines, No Tankers, No Problem
 Thursday, Apr. 11th, 7pm
Vic Theatre, 808 Douglas St., downtown Victoria
All are welcome! Presented by Sierra Club BC with support from Wilderness Committee
COST: FREE!

Also joining us, via video, will be Bill McKibben, one of the world’s foremost climate change activists and co-founder of 350.org. And we will be showing, for the first time, a brand-new video focused on pipelines and climate change, featuring musician C.R. Avery.

This is sure to be an inspiring event. It’s free, and it begins at 7pm on Thursday, Apr. 11th at the Vic Theatre in downtown Victoria (808 Douglas St.).

Please RSVP on Facebook and invite your friends, or check out the event page on our website. Kinder Morgan’s pipeline is a threat to BC’s coast and the planet, and we must make our message clear: No Pipelines, No Tankers, No Problem!
