According to polls, almost 80 per cent of British Columbians oppose increased tanker traffic on our precious coast. Like many of you, I am terrified about the impact that an oil spill would have on our oceans, our forests and our communities.

We need to take a stand. We must not let our government put our coast at risk to benefit their friends in Big Oil.

On March 30 and 31, the National Energy Board will be in Comox conducting a hearing for the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline. This hearing will be the first one in southern BC and we want to make sure that the members of the panel know that there is massive opposition to the pipeline and tanker project all over this province.

In conjunction with the hearing, the Wilderness Committee is also helping organize a rally on Saturday, March 31 at 1pm. I urge you to join us.

We need people from all over the Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island to attend to show their solidarity with First Nations and all those opposed to the pipeline.

The Wilderness Committee is organizing carpools from all over the place, including a bus from Victoria. So please join us!

The proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline poses a massive new threat to pristine areas across central BC including the Great Bear rainforest. The only way for us to stop it is standing together shoulder to shoulder in every corner of the province.

This weekend is our turn. Come on up and be heard.
