Join the circle to stop the Site C dam

Monday, May 25, 2015

On July 20th, 2015, Treaty 8 First Nations will be going to court to stop the Site C dam from flooding the beautiful Peace River Valley.

Together,  RAVEN  Trust, Treaty 8 First Nations and allies like the Wilderness Committee are forming a powerful circle to make sure that Site C is never built.

A win for Treaty 8 will help to protect farmland, communities and businesses that will be directly affected by Site C. 

The goal is to raise $250,000 – the timeframe is short, and we need your help.

It’s already been shown that the power generated from this $9 billion mega-project – BC’s largest capital infrastructure project – is not needed for residential use. The provincial government has said that the power will go to LNG expansion for international markets. 

Constructing this dam would mean backing out of Treaty agreements signed with First Nations, flooding farmland and destroying a rich ecosystem, all to fuel further destructive resource extraction in the North. Flooding grave sites and sacred areas, ruining fishing grounds and wildlife habitat would be a violation of the basic human rights of the region's First Nations people.

First Nations are standing up and defending the land and water: let's stand together. Let's pool our resources now and support Treaty 8 Nations in court so that they can have the best legal representation possible.

You can support the cause by by spreading the word, donating to the legal fund and  fundraising online.

Our efforts will make sure that the Peace River Valley can be saved and that it will be enjoyed by generations to come!
