Thanks to massive public pressure, the BC NDP have launched a Royalty Review to evaluate subsidies for fracking companies. This is a critical opportunity to end Deep Well Royalty Credits—one of BC's biggest fossil fuel subsidies.

Earlier this month my daughters were trapped in Hope for three days by the unprecedented landslides that shut down highways. Thankfully everyone was okay, and they were able to help those more in need. The climate emergency is affecting all of us, right now.

My heart is feeling very heavy. BC has declared a State of Emergency for the third time in 2021. Our hearts are with everyone affected by the extreme weather events of the past week:

Last week CleanBC released its Roadmap to 2030. Our take: it's a highway to hell. BC’s climate action plan falls far short of the bold and transformative changes that we need to keep warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. There is nothing in the plan to phase-out fracking or LNG exports.

Squamish-ites! We just found out that Resource Works is hosting an event with Woodfibre LNG up at QuestU, today! Some of our volunteers are coordinating a demonstration, and we're going to be there to support. We are facing climate catastrophe.

This summer I went to the Peace River region on Treaty 8 territory in Northeastern BC, where the fracking industry is booming. Nothing could have prepared me for seeing the impacts of this industrialization with my own eyes. From the highway, I saw a forty-foot column of fire shoot into the sky.

I read a lot of comments online from people that are concerned about how quickly Squamish is changing and growing. I share a lot of those concerns.

There are two public info meetings on Wednesday, October 13th at 2pm and 6pm. REGISTER HERE … Here's what you need to know: This is private land, and has been owned by the Fast family for over 20 years.

This Thursday I invite you to wear orange and join me in learning and participating in events for the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This year has been difficult as new evidence emerges of the ongoing genocide of Indigenous peoples in Canada.

This summer, I've been working with a diverse network of environmental, indigenous, labour, health, business, faith, and youth groups to develop an open letter calling on the BC government to confront the climate emergency and commit to ten climate actions.
