A mass civil disobedience action has been called for the end of August in Washington DC to pressure the U.S. government to stop approval of the Keystone XL Pipeline proposed to carry tar sands crude oil from northern Alberta to refineries in Illinois, Oklahoma and the U.S. Gulf Coast. At the same time, here in the Lower Mainland, we will spotlight and protest the tar sands pipeline in our own backyard -- in North Burnaby.
Organized by the Council of Canadians, Tanker Free BC, Streams of Justice, StopThePave.org and the Wilderness Committee.
Turn off the taps on the tar sands - No pipelines, no tankers
Join us on Aug. 27 for a rally of solidarity and visit the site of our own tar sands pipeline. The tar sands can be stopped if they have no where to go.

Do you think media plays a role in creating a more inclusive Vancouver? How does ethnicity shape the stories that we tell about ourselves and our city? Join youth, educators and media makers as we reimagine ethnic representation in media and learn how the next generation is changing how we consume --and even create -- these stories.
MIM will explore issues around ethnic representation in media & storytelling and the importance of media literacy when we create and consume those stories from the perspective of media professionals, educators, advocates and youth.
This event is presented in partnership between the United Nations Association in Canada, Schema Magazine, CoopCulture and co-sponsored by the Vancouver Public Library.
