Next week, on September 10-14, this body will have its annual conference – and this year there is something special on the table. Local governments will vote on whether to demand that 20 of the world’s biggest fossil fuel companies pay a fair share of climate-related costs in BC communities. This year, BC communities were battered by a series of wildfires, floods and other impacts made worse by climate change. The cost of these disasters is on the rise, and BC taxpayers cannot afford to pay 100% of the amount required to adapt to and recover from climate change impacts. Right now, fossil fuel companies assume that they won’t have to pay a share of these costs –...

The Federal Court of Appeal has overturned the federal approval and stopped construction on the Trans Mountain pipeline and tankers project. The judgement confirms the concerns we’ve shared all along: the environmental review was inadequate, and the federal government failed in its duty to consult Indigenous communities affected by this risky project. https://cl.S7.exct.net/?qs=396802a7efbf749bb8c9842795909338f539e8915456e180c1c51e7b6d9410a54ef425fb2820cefb65e9edcce2babbd2 Read more in our press release here. At this time of celebration, we are incredibly grateful for the courage and dedication of the Indigenous nations leading this legal battle, including West Coast’s client, the Tsleil-Waututh Nation. Our thanks also go out to our environmental allies, and the local governments who stepped up to challenge Trans Mountain in the courts. And of course, we are very thankful for you, and the thousands of people like you who...

Above all, the Jack Layton Journalism for Change Fellowship is a call to action; it is a reminder of urgent need to speak truth to power during these difficult times."
