Take Action on
Tankers and Pipelines
Coastal First Nations say they will not allow pipelines and oil tankers carrying Alberta's tar sands oil in B.C.. Please support the First Nations' campaign bysending a message to Enbridge's CEO. If we're truly going to see a zero carbon Canada we have to stop the expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure.

"GET OUT MIGRATION"
The "Get Out Migration" culminated with a turnout of over 5000 people arriving at the Victoria Parliament Buildings on May 8th.

IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN HERE
Every few weeks it seems a major shipping or oil pipeline incident occurs. So to keep you informed on what BC may be reporting on in the future if Enbridge's pipeline is built to Kitimat, please visit our "It Will Never Happen Here" media section.TAKE ACTION on the Trophy Hunt
