Sierra Life: Defending B.C.’s Water in the Courtroom
r33
We kicked off World Water Week with a stint in the courtroom, where Justice Fitzpatrick heard our case against the B.C. government for allowing oil and gas companies to dewater north-eastern B.C.

Kayakers rejoice! The B.C. government has closed the deal on a key piece of land connecting two spectacular marine parks, and featuring a historic portage trail and aboriginal clam garden. Congratulations to Sierra Quadra and Quadra Islanders who laboured for 17 years to make it happen.
Join the People's Procession & Rally on Saturday, April 12th to raise community awareness and voice opposition to Kinder Morgan’s proposed TransMountain pipeline.
