Canadian Network to Abolish Nuclear Weapons
Request for action by February 14, 2022!
Dear friends, Canadians Call on NATO: Reduce Nuclear Risks
Are you concerned as we are about the casual talk about the use of nuclear weapons? The Canadian Network to Abolish Nuclear Weapons is a network of groups working for the elimination of nuclear weapons. We seek the support of civil society groups in Canada for the “Canadians Call on NATO: Reduce Nuclear Risks” statement that is attached in English and French. NATO is revising its rules of the game (the NATO Strategic Concept) on use of weapons in conflicts. We are concerned about the risk posed by nuclear weapons, particularly now with threats being exchanged between Russia and NATO states.
We hope to receive strong support from unions, professional associations, community organizations, service and ethnic groups. If you’d like more information on the statement, please respond with your questions.
Please respond by February 14th to let us know if your group agrees to be listed as a supporter of this statement. Our last...

Your monthly update from the BC Health Coalition
CAMPAIGN
One step closer to a "Safe Long-Term Care Act"
BCHC member organizations and individuals were part of the 18,000 Canadians who helped shape the new draft LTC standards, recently released by Health Standard Organization.
In a recent blog post, we shared our initial reaction to the draft standards. While there is a lot to applaud about these updated standards, we worry about the lack of funding and commitment to legislate new standards will limit implementation.
The new draft standards [also] fail to acknowledge the majority of Canadians who wish to see for-profit long-term care phased out. In BCHC members' submissions to HSO, the theme of for-profit care resounded loud and clear. Neither the new report nor the draft standards make any mention...

Remembering Remi De Roo
Bishop Remi De Roo, the former Catholic Bishop of Victoria who was known as a social-justice advocate, died Tuesday at the age of 97.

Find a Tree Relation
We invite you to take a moment to participate in a land-based activity! Go outside and find a tree. Use all of your senses to interact with the tree and be mindful of how you are feeling. Take a picture of the tree, write a few lines about the experiences, and share it with us on Jamboard by February 10th!
What does this have to do with International Development? This is part of decolonization and learning from the land, which should be the foundations of development work.

Dear Friends,
The Mining Justice Action Committee (MJAC) and KAIROS-Victoria have partnered to hold a public screening of Bright Green Lies on Monday February 21 at 7 pm via Zoom.
We have been advocating for vastly improved mining practices here and abroad that uphold Indigenous and human rights and sustain environmental integrity.
With the climate crisis upon us, mining efforts are set to expand rapidly to supply minerals necessary for a transition away from fossil fuels and towards alternative technologies.
Canadian mining corporations make up the majority of mining companies in the world today and suffer little accountability for their abysmal behaviour. So, it falls to Canadians to make a difference.
We have been asking ourselves whether we can mine our way out of the climate crisis and if so, at what costs to human rights, biodiversity and other elements of the natural world.
These inquiries brought us to the film Bright Green Lies.
The film argues that solar, wind and other “green” technologies are not all what they are made out to be. It may be that population control and reduced consumption are as important to our survival. The...
