Take Action to STOP CBM this Friday!

A quick phone call can help keep irresponsible oil and gas development out of Beautiful British Columbia.

Shell Canada and BP Canada wants to drill for coalbed methane in the Sacred Headwaters and the Elk Valley, but all the amazing work done by citizens together has prevented any work from being done on the ground.

A number of signs suggest the BC government, Shell and BP might just be rethinking their projects.

They've received thousands of resolutions against drilling from First Nations, municipalities, fishermen, unions and ordinary citizens in BC. They've heard from prominent Canadians, like Maude Barlow, National Chairperson of the Council of Canadians, and Wade Davis, Explorer in Residence at National Geographic.

So now comes the fun part!

On Friday, HUNDREDS of people across BC and Alberta will phone Gordon Campbell and let him know that we don't want CBM drilling in this province! Not anywhere in this province, not on Vancouver Island, not in the Similkameen, not in the Elk Valley or Sacred Headwaters.

Join us! It's as easy as making a quick phone call. Just pick up the phone between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Friday, November 21st. With the amount of resistance shown to this development, Gordon Campbell will be forced to make the right decision.

Some places are too special to allow oil and gas drilling, and should be preserved as a legacy for all Canadians. Contact the Premier of British Columbia, and urge him to do the right thing and STOP irresponsible CBM development.

CALL BC Premier, Gordon Campbell: 250-387-1715
An assistant will likely answer your call.

Thanks everyone!
