Have Your Say on the Proposed Site C Dam
the proposed Site C dam would be the third hydroelectric dam on the Peace River in northeastern British Columbia. The $8 billion taxpayer-funded project would flood 5,200 hectares of fertile agricultural land as well as destroying 4,900 hectares of boreal forest in order to provide power for the oil and gas industry. Take action.
Say No to the Raven Coal Mine
Compliance Coal Corporation plans to extract 40 million tonnes of coal from its proposed Raven coal mine, just a few kilometres from the world-famous oyster beds in Fanny Bay. The mine would construct a toxic tailings pond over the fish-bearing Cowie Creek and potentially contaminate aquifers that provide household drinking water. It would also threaten Baynes Sound, one of the world’s richest oyster beds. Take action.

Tell the Prime Minister to Protect the Pacific Ocean
After working for almost a decade to develop a plan for B.C.’s North Coast and ocean, the federal government pulled out from an agreement which would have funded the plan through completion in December 2012, excluding the voices of citizens and communities and making it easier to rubber-stamp destructive projects.
Protect Juan de Fuca Park
Thanks to the commitment of thousands of citizens of the Capital Region, the Juan de Fuca Park is safe from a sprawling resort being built on its fringe - for now. But what about next time? Take action.
