Action Alert! Dec 15 Coal for Coell

2010 December 13, by Chapter Council

Victoria’s Chapter of the Wilderness Committee would like to remind British Columbia’s new Environment Minister Mr. Murray Coell that his government has been naughty this year in trying to push the Raven Coal mine (pdf) in Comox valley through environmental assessment.

On December 15th we are sending stockings full of coal to our elected representatives to let them know they are being naughty on the climate front. There will be actions in Victoria, Vancouver, the Comox Valley and Port Alberni, and the opportunity for you to plan one in your community.

Join us on Wednesday, Dec. 15, at 12 Noon at the offices of Minister Murray Coell at 2412 Beacon Avenue in Sidney, BC. The Wilderness Committee will be hanging stockings with ‘coal for Environment Minister Coell’, with an additional special delivery for all BC Liberal and potential NDP leadership candidates. The next premier of BC needs to get the message that we want to phase out naughty coal mining not help it expand!

Remember, the only acceptable use for coal is to stuff the stockings of people who will destroy BC’s wilderness for short term profit.
