Victoria: LNG, fracking and Victoria's energy future

November 26, 2014

We've heard many promises about the economic benefits of a proposed LNG industry, which would be powered by fracking in northeast B.C. But are these claims credible? And what sort of environmental trade-offs would the industry bring?

From the frack fields of northeastern B.C. to the many proposed gas pipelines, and up to 18 LNG terminals vying for approval along the northwest coast in Howe Sound, Delta, and off Vancouver Island, join us as we drill down the myths and realities of this industry through an evening of multi-media presentations and film.

Speakers:

Damien Gillis, journalist and documentary filmmaker of Fractured Land
Leila Darwish, Pacific Regional Organizer, The Council of Canadians

This event includes a “Pull-Together Fundraiser.” Donations are welcome and will support First Nations' legal challenges against the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline.

The evening is sponsored by the Council of Canadians and the GVTA Social Justice Committee.

Time: 19:00 - 21:00
