An evening of pizza, film and sharing ideas!
You are invited to attend the screening of the film Directly Affected on Monday, May 11th at 5-9pm. The screening will take place at the Tsleil-Waututh Community Centre. This event is free to attend for the Tsleil-Waututh community but the public is also welcome to attend by donation. There will also be raffle prizes for Tsleil-Waututh youth (aged 8-18).
This film features Carleen Thomas, Rueben George, and Ta’ah Amy Marie George of Tsleil-Waututh.
Presentations will be given by film maker, Zack Embree, Ross Dixon of the Raincoast Conservation Foundation, and members of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation Sacred Trust.
As a result of Bill C-38 and a dramatically weakened Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, applicants for public participation in the National Energy Board (NEB) review of the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain Expansion proposal had to prove they were either “directly affected†or had relevant knowledge or expertise.
From First Nations to Burnaby homeowners and Chilliwack fishermen to Gulf Islands residents, this film features communities across BC who want to have their voices heard.
