Dear friends,
These twin crises of COVID-19 and climate breakdown show us one thing: we have to use this moment to transform. We’re living through a societal shift unlike any other in recent memory – and our efforts to rebuild must continue to be bold, imaginative, and restorative.

A journalist reflects on what weeks of protests mean for the land's Indigenous - and how it goes beyond just a pipeline.

The Seventh Generation Principle is based on an ancient Iroquois philosophy that the decisions we make today should result in a sustainable
world seven generations into the future.
A major gap in government regulation and oversight is allowing giant international cargo ships to anchor as long as they want in the “protected” waters of the Southern Gulf Islands and Cowichan Bay.
Negative Impacts include:
-
Massive anchor chains scraping the ocean floor, destroying entire marine habitats
-
Diesel generators running 24/7 causing air, noise and light pollution
-
Acoustic Interference and collision risk to Resident Killer Whales
-
Risk of grounding or collisions causing catastrophic oil spills
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Local First Nations and coastal community groups are demanding Transport Canada put an end to this harmful spillover of commercial activity from the Port of Vancouver.
