Call To Action

  1. Calling for Feedback on the Proposed Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project: A government report has found this proposed project would be detrimental to the local ecosystem. The environmental impact of this project would affect the already struggling orca and salmon populations. Please go and have your voice heard against the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project

  2. Help Out on World Migratory Bird Day (May 30th): “Bird populations are in decline and their habitats are in peril.” Head to the official website of Canada’s National Bird Day and find out how you can help protect our migratory birds!

  3. Boat Motor Noise: Please express your concerns to Transport Canada before April 15 - submit comments and support via the Let’s Talk portal. The best option is #5:  Introduce performance standards for manufacturers and vessel operators to follow. All you need to do is go to the website and click on Have Your Say at the bottom of the page , register (name, email, etc…) and then please respond to # 5 since it is the most stringent and enforceable of the proposed solutions.
