Urgent Gathering to Celebrate and Protect Juan de Fuca Lands

SJ Willis Auditorium
923 Topaz Avenue between Blanshard and Quadra
Wednesday March 3
7pm – 9pm

Come out and help protect these lands. Do we want sprawl from Sooke to Jordan River?

On March 8 Western Forest Products is putting 5200 acres of private lands up for sale from Sooke to Jordan River – our Wild Coast. The provincial government now has an opportunity to support UBC’s proposal to purchase these lands as an educational and research forest. The CRD must be supported in their role to protect and manage these lands. Come have a say in the future of our coast.

Chief Gordon Planes – T’Sou-ke First Nation
Arnie Campbell – Otter Point and Shirley Residents and Rate Payers Association
