Vancouver's Leader in Transition toward Strong, Resilient, Complete Communities
TOUR: No Pipelines. No Tankers.
To raise awareness and build community solidarity and support in the fights to stop pipeline expansions in BC, the Council of Canadians is organizing a six-city tour this month to say: “No Pipelines, No Tankers.” The tour will help educate about the devastating environmental impacts of these massive pipeline projects, which will move tar sands crude to BC’s coastline where it will be loaded into supertankers and shipped through precarious waters to new markets.
October 25 ˆ Burnaby
Alpha Secondary School, 4600 Parker Street (Map) 6:30 p.m. (doors open 6:00 p.m.)
Speakers: Maude Barlow (The Council of Canadians), Rueben George (Tseil-Waututh), Bill McKibben (350.org)
When communities come together with common passion and purpose they can change political priorities. We can show how these pipeline projects are not the answer for a truly healthy and sustainable future in British Columbia.

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.
