Please join me for an evening of inspiration, solidarity and action for the Peace Valley with Treaty 8 First Nations and Sierra Club BC!
The Peace Valley is an amazing food oasis that can provide fruits and vegetables for one million people—and abundant traditional harvests of bull trout, moose, berries and medicinal plants for the region's First Nations. This is the land the B.C. government is rushing to flood to build Site C dam—the biggest project in Canada that is being rammed through in the face of First Nations opposition and multiple court challenges.
We're taking this message on the road! Four cities in 4 days!! Come and learn about Treaty 8 First Nations and Peace Valley farmers’ strong stand for the Peace, and how we can support them and stop Site C.
Speakers include Julian Napoleon of Saulteau First Nation, who is doing some amazing work with the Working Group on Indigenous Food Sovereignty on connecting farmland issues and indigenous food systems. In Kelowna, we will be joined by Richard Bullock, former chair of the Agricultural Land Reserve (Kelowna only). And I will bring us all up to speed with new opportunities to leverage international scrutiny of Site C to put pressure on the federal government.

Thank you! And hopefully we'll see you at one of these events.
