Only when the last fish is caught, the last tree felled, and the rivers polluted,
only then, will humanity realise that money cannot be eaten. ~Native American Prophecy

How can you buy or sell the sky, the warmth of the land? The idea is strange to us. If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them? ~Chief Seattle


Right now the BC Government is poised to transfer ownership rights to over 500 wild and scenic parts of BC Rivers. Private power projects will then be built on BC Rivers to generate energy British Columbia doesn’t need.

The give away of irreplaceable wild and scenic rivers will hurt all of us. Our Mayors and City Councillors need to speak up in defence of the rivers that run through our towns and have provided for our communities culturally and economically for generations.

Ask Mayor Bates to take the Pledge!

All you have to do is go to the following website, enter your town name, your name and addresses, press "Submit", and an email will be sent to your Mayor and City Council with your information asking them to take the Pledge.
