Two Canadian authors discuss tar sands, pipelines and the uncertain future of BC’s wild coast.

Speakers include: 

IAN MCALLISTER: His first book, The Great Bear Rainforest won the Booksellers’ Choice Award for BC Book of the Year. His latest book is The Last Wild Wolves, Ghosts of the Rainforest. McAllister lives with his family on Denny Island and is an activist on the BC Coast.

ANDREW NIKIFORUK:  Award-winning journalist, will also talk about his latest book, Tar Sands: Dirty Oil and the Future of Continent, which reveals the true costs of America’s oil addiction.

These two authors will provide some insights and generate discussion on the two ends of the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline which would ship tar sands to oil supertankers on our north coast.

This event is brought to you by Westcoast Environmental Law, the Pembina Institute and Forest Ethics.

Doors open at 7pm, presentation begins 7:30pm.
