It's been an epic couple of weeks.
Last Monday May 4, My Sea to Sky, represented by Ecojustice lawyers, sent a letter to Prime Minister Carney, warning that granting new fossil fuel subsidies for LNG projects may violate Canadians' Charter rights.
Last Tuesday May 5, we made the front page of the Vancouver Sun, exposing the year-long water permit violations from FortisBC's toxic tunnel.
And last week, I visited Kitimat with Tim Doty, a former Texas regulator who now contracts with Oilfield Witness, to capture footage of the invisible pollution pouring from LNG Canada (both the flare and five polluting stacks at the facility itself) using an optical gas imaging camera. I felt like Erin Brockovich, tramping through the woods with Tim.
This week, we broke a story, nationwide, that LNG Canada's flare tip is cracked due to excess flaring and that the acid-gas incinerator has been offline for a month, which means the gas is dirtier and polluting nearby communities. LEARN MORE: CBC | Energetic City
Then on Tuesday May 12, My Sea to Sky volunteers held FortisBC and the BC Energy Regulator accountable as they gave an update to the District of Squamish.
I'm feeling like a total badass, and I wanted to take a moment to celebrate our success with all of you. We could not do this without the incredible support of the My Sea to Sky community.
Thank you for making our work possible!
Boom, boom, boom.
