A Call for Clean Air

In early 2013, the province of British Columbia granted Rio Tinto Alcan permission to dramatically increase the level of sulphur dioxide they dump into our air. After over 2 years of Judicial Reviews and hard work, two brave individuals from Kitimat were granted permission to bring their case to the Environmental Appeal Board and hearings are finally underway.

Things are going well, but there is still lots of work to do, money to be raised and information to get out into the world.

The second week of hearings started on May 11th and will go until May 15th. They are scheduled for Kitimat from June 1-5 and 8-12. The more people that fill the hearing room the better. They will be from 9am-5pm daily at the Kitimat Rod and Gun Club.

Please considering making a donation to help support the legal proceedings.

The Invisible Migration

Every year, about 300 million baby salmon make their way from every river and lake in the entire Skeena watershed down to the estuary where they get ready to head out into the big blue sea. We always celebrate their return, but sometimes forget their biggest journey of all.

On May 11th, hundreds gathered to celebrate The Invisible Migration at Lake Babine where over 100 million smolts begin their journey downstream. The circle of life continues to turn and as one wise Elder said, "We only take what we need, we do no harm to the resource that nourishes and sustains us."

Join the celebration Wednesday, May 20 starting at 7pm in Hazelton: Free BBQ dinner, Campfire jam featuring Rachelle Van Zanten, Lantern release at dusk. Starts at 7pm

Come out again on Saturday, May 23 for the final Estuary Celebration in Prince Rupert. Details TBA at the Invisible Migration website
