Stop Canada’s Environmental Injustice: Building for the Future


February 16, 2012


Challenges to Harper’s plans for more pipelines to export dirty Canadian tar-sands oil; opposition to mining injustice; protection of Ontario farmland from mega quarry destruction, safeguarding secure public water supplies, and more: environmentalists are active in many fields. Yet Canada’s government remains among the worst promoters of environmental injustice. As we approach the June 2012 Rio+20 world conference on sustainable development, how can we best link and advance our common struggle for environmental and climate justice in Canada and internationally.

Speakers include Ben Powless, Indigenous Environmental Network; Raúl Burbano from Common Frontiers, Brent Patterson, Council of Canadians (National Office), both just returned from the world Thematic Social Forum: Capitalist Crisis, Social and Environmental Justice in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Kim Kerridge, Greenpeace; Dave Vasey, Environmental Justice Toronto; Andrea Peloso, Code Pink;

Time: 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Venue: OSIE Room 2212
Location: 252 Bloor Street West Toronto, ON
