Our Coast. Our Call. No Oil Tankers in the Great Bear Rainforest

Unless we stop them, tankers will travel through grey whale migratory routes, through feeding grounds for humpback and orca whales. Take action.

Your Letters Make a Difference

Sierra Club BC supporters have written tens of thousands of letters to decision-makers over the years. Your letters are part of a groundswell of voices that can be the turning point in urgent conservation issues.

• Through letter-writing and in-person statements to the Capital Regional District, residents voiced their opposition to a proposed sprawling resort development on the Juan de Fuca park and marine trail. The CRD committee reversed its original position and voted unanimously to reject the development. Now it's time to prevent this from happening again in the future by adding this private land to the provincial park. Take action.
• Thousands of Sierra Club BC supporters wrote to the federal government about Taseko's proposed gold and copper mine on Fish Lake. Your voice was heard and the federal cabinet rejected the mine. Now we must speak up to prevent a second, more destructive, proposal from getting past the environmental assessment stage. Stay tuned for more on this issue.
• More than 15,000 Friends of the Flathead have written letters and postcards to decision-makers, asking them to permanently protect the Flathead. In November 2011, the B.C. government passed a law banning mining and oil and gas development in the Flathead. This success was possible because you spoke up. Now it's time for permanent protection for the Flathead with a National Park in the south-eastern one-third of the valley, to fill in the missing piece of the adjacent Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park and World Heritage Site. Take action.
