Urgent Gathering to Celebrate and Protect Juan de Fuca Lands
SJ Willis Auditorium
923 Topaz Avenue between Blanshard and Quadra
Wednesday March 3 - 7pm – 9pm
Come out and help protect these lands. Do we want sprawl from Sooke to Jordan River?
- On March 8 Western Forest Products is putting 5200 acres of private lands up for sale from Sooke to Jordan River – our Wild Coast. Let’s help protect waterfront lands at Sandcut Beach all the way to the surfing beaches at Jordan River, the Sooke Potholes lands and other extensive forest lands and watersheds in the area. First Nations sacred sites are at risk from development.
- The provincial government now has an opportunity to support UBC’s proposal to purchase these lands as an educational and research forest. Come have a say in the future of our coast.
Speakers include:
Chief Gordon Planes – T’Sou-ke First Nation
Arnie Campell – Otter Point and Shirley Rate Payers Association
Vicky Husband – Jordan River Steering Committee
Sponsoring Organizations – Jordan River Steering Committee and Dogwood Initiative
Supporting Organizations – Western Canada Wilderness Committee and Sierra Club BC
For more information contact gordon@dogwoodinitiative.org 250-370-9930 ext.26
More fun things to do:
- Invite all your friends to join this group. Tell them why it's important. (They're clearcutting 25 square kilometers of the South Island, to start with, and there's more news coming out every day.)
- Find a camera and get ready to document this fiasco. We expect loaded logging trucks coming through Langf...ord every ten minutes or so next week. Protests? Maybe.
- Contact the media, send them photos, letters, and opinions. A couple of lines is great.
- Make your own media. Create a poster or fact sheet (we'll be working on this too.)
- Come to our events. There's a volunteer meeting this Saturday in Langford, and a big public meeting next Wednesday, March 3 at 7 pm. Details coming, so watch this space.
- Put on an event, invite us to your school or non-profit group, pass the hat, make a donation. http://forestaction.ca
- Remember, there's no doubt that a small, committed group of people can change the world. It's actually the only thing that ever has.
