"The EAO’s assessment additionally found that the project would have significant cumulative effects on grizzly bears, by adding to existing impacts from previous development in the region, as well as adverse impacts to First Nations, such as treaty rights to hunt."
Breaking! A coal mine proposed for caribou habitat in BC won't be moving ahead. The province will not issue an environmental assessment certificate for the Sukunka mine. If you commented, thank you for standing up for caribou & with First Nations partners https://t.co/El1R8k4Z9l
Today the B.C. government announced they will forge ahead on #SiteC, a large dam in Treaty 8 territory in the northern part of the province. Deeply disappointing and heartbreaking news.
One thing you can do? Support West Moberly First Nation's legal challenge. ⬇️⬇️
Christy Clark & BC Liberals promised to push Site C past a point of no return.
When we moved forward in 2017, no one could've imagined the global pandemic's impacts.
Cancelling would cause power rates to skyrocket. We won't burden people with that & have nothing to show for it.
Details on #SiteC remain hidden from the public. Chief Willson of West Moberly First Nation says BC’s Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act is nothing but words on paper considering the lack of transparency provided to Treaty 8 First Nations. https://t.co/MmqXy7seh5
The ongoing struggle of the West Moberly First Nations against the Site C dam being built on Treaty 8 territory without their free, prior and informed consent has been noted by the United Nations and will go to court in March of next year. More on this at https://t.co/qgqFF7q5ii
"Cascading and compounding mistakes may be leading B.C. to an $8-billion loss."
More on #SiteC, this time from Harry Swain, who chaired the Joint Review Panel on Site C in 2013-14 and is a former deputy minister of Industry Canada. https://t.co/MBFCvLnUFd
Make sure the ministers reviewing the Milburn report hear from you today about #SiteC. Use this calling tool to make it easy:
☎️ https://t.co/3k57K4WSKX
Today, call the office of one or more B.C. cabinet ministers and tell them simply: #SiteC is a disaster that must be stopped. The B.C. Cabinet is reviewing Peter Milburn’s independent report on the dam NOW. Your call can make a difference

Add to this picture: spreading #COVID in BC, & waiting for the next #landslide to destroy it. There've already been TWO LANDSLIDES near the #SiteC dam site. It's not safe to build a dam on shifting, fracked shale. We need the #PeaceValleyForever@jjhorgan#StopSiteC#NoDamWay
"For B.C., there is still time to turn back at #SiteC, as difficult and financially gutting a choice as that may be," write the @GlobeDebate editorial board. https://t.co/23SrUzRI78
