The Flathead: What You Can Do
Describes the steps people can take to protect the Flathead River Valley.
Easy steps you can take to protect the Flathead
1. Write a letter to Premier Gordon Campbell urging him to agree to permanent protection for the Flathead River Valley. Ask the Premier to agree to make the lower one-third of the valley a National Park and to establish a Wildlife Management Area in the rest of the valley and adjoining habitat. Feel free to use the information on this website in your letter.
Send your letter to: Premier Gordon Campbell, Box 9041, Station Prov Gov, Victoria, BC, V8W 9E1. Please send a copy of your letter to Sierra Club BC, 302-733 Johnson St, Victoria, BC, V8W 3C5.
Ask your friends, family, colleagues, neighbours and anyone else you know to write letters!
2. In addition to writing a letter, please sign our on-line petition. Then forward the link to all your contacts and ask them to sign--friends, family, colleagues, faith group members and others.
3. Take 20 seconds and sign up to become a Friend of the Flathead. Ask your friends, family and colleagues to sign up as well.
4. Organize a showing of the Flathead multimedia presentation in your community. Contact us at flathead@sierraclub.bc.ca to arrange a showing and Sierra Club BC speaker.
5. Download our Flathead paper petition, print out copies, and circulate it in your community. Then mail the petitions to us at Sierra Club BC, 302-733 Johnson St, Victoria BC, V8W 3C5.
6. Download our Flathead fact sheet and print it out (in colour is best). Ask your local businesses and community centres to carry it, along with the petitions.
7. Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper about the Flathead and the urgent need to protect it permanently.
8. Make a donation to our Flathead River Valley campaign. Every dollar counts!
