Join Award Winning Authors in Smithers to discuss Pipelines and Tarsands
A Story with Two Ends –
Two Canadian authors discuss tar sands, pipelines and the uncertain future of BC’s wild coast.
Join us to hear award-winning photographer and author 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 of the Wild Wolves of the Great Bear Rainforest. McAllister lives with his family on Denny Island and is an activist on the BC Coast.
Andrew Nikiforuc, an 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 addition.
These two authors will provide some insights and generate discussion on the two ends of the proposed Enbridge pipeline which would like to ship tar sands to oil tankers on our north coast.
The event is being held Weds, May 27th at 7pm at the Hudson Bay Lodge in Smithers (Ferguson Room). The event is being presented by Forest Ethics, Friends of Wild Salmon and the Pembina Institute.
