A Story With Two Ends

Following is a forwarded message through Rafe Mair from Karen McAllister. Unfortunately there are no dates set for the interior or Northern BC as yet but we can hope. The $5 suggested donation is fairly inexpensive compared to the liberals multi hundred dollar dinners to listen to the lies spewed by the prem.


Rafe here ... if you can make one of these dates I urge you to do that and please pass this on to people close to this site.
Thanx

Hello all!
FYI. Hope that you can make one of these presentations.  Please pass on to those who may be interested in attending. . .[snip]


Best, Karen McAllister

Join Ian McAllister, Conservation Director of Pacific Wild, and journalist Andrew Nikiforuk as they describe the beauty and complexity of British Columbia's Great Bear Rainforest and look at how Canada's dirty oil industry threatens BC and our nation.

Ian and Andrew are outlining the stories surrounding both ends of the proposed Enbridge pipeline, from the Alberta Tar Sands to Kitimat’s pristine waters.  This compelling muti-media presentation will provide an in-depth and intimate view along the pipeline and tanker route.
