About this Event
Attend a community forum in Vancouver
Doctors and nurses will share the latest research on the threats that LNG development poses for public health and BC’s healthcare system, especially in rural and Indigenous communities. Residents will share their firsthand experience in Kitimat where excess flaring by LNG Canada is affecting the health and wellbeing of community members.
At a time when many British Columbians are looking for credible, accessible information about the health implications of fossil fuel expansion, we believe it is important to create opportunities for dialogue grounded in public health expertise and frontline community experience.
