Comox Valley
Sierra Club Comox Valley is the youngest local group of Sierra Club BC. Gathered initially to oppose a proposal for a gas station in a high-risk earthquake area, the core group expanded their vision to address the sustainability of the entire Courtenay River watershed. Currently, Sierra Comox Valley is focusing on two key campaigns: No Gas on the Dyke and the Raven Coal Mine Campaign (in partnership with Coal Watch Comox Valley).

Our work is guided by a positive vision of the Courtenay River estuary as an eco-neighbourhood.
