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 beside an estuary designated a Canadian Important Bird Area, the core group has expanded its vision to address the sustainability of the entire Courtenay River watershed.
Sierra Comox Valley is currently focused on two key campaigns: No Gas on the Dyke and the Raven Coal Mine Campaign (in partnership with Coal Watch Comox Valley). As members of a wide coalition of environmental and social justice groups, Sierra Comox Valley works to educate the citizens of the Comox Valley about their democratic rights and responsibilities.
Our work is guided by a positive vision of the Courtenay River estuary as an eco-neighbourhood.
The group approached Sierra Club BC in early 2009 and became a fully accredited Sierra Club local group in September 2009. View the inaugural event in Comox.
