Victoria Stands with No Tankers No Pipelines Saturday N16

No Tankers No Pipelines National Day of Action (Victoria)

by Wilderness Committee

This winter, the Joint Review Panel will give their recommendation on Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline to the federal government and Kinder Morgan is expected to submit an application for their proposed new Trans Mountain pipeline. If these proposals are approved, hundreds of tankers per year will put B.C.’s coast at risk.

British Columbians do not want tankers threatening the coast. A single oil spill would devastate marine ecosystems, coastal communities and coastal jobs.

Thousands have written and spoken out against Enbridge’s pipeline plans. More than 160 First Nations have signed the Save the Fraser River Declaration prohibiting the transport of tar sands crude through their lands and waters. Coastal First Nations have declared a ban on oil tankers in the Great Bear Rainforest.

Join us November 16th for a rally against tanker and pipeline projects in B.C.

1:00 pm at Clover Point Park

Let’s send a clear message to Christy Clark and Stephen Harper that we reject the expansion of tanker traffic on the B.C. coast.

All across the country, communities will be rallying for the "Defend our Climate, Defend our Communities" National Day of Action. Climate change is here and Canadians are calling on all levels of government to transition away from fossil fuel dependence and towards a green energy future.
