Take action TODAY to stop logging of Alberta's Castle Special Management Area, and support its permanent protection. The Castle was announced as a protected area in 1998, but the Alberta government never turned that announcement into law.
With your help, we have delayed the logging for months, but now Spray Lake Sawmills' equipment is on-site and ready to start clear-cutting. Read more »

Starting next Tuesday, the public hearings on Enbridge’s destructive tar sands pipeline comes to Edmonton and it’s important that we are there.
Don’t Tar Our Future or BC’s Coast
Rally at the Enbridge Tar Sands Pipeline Hearings
Wingate Inn (18220-100th Avenue)
Spread the word! Invite your friends to the Facebook event.
Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline is 1,170 km of potential destruction, proposed to go from just outside of Bruderheim, AB to Kitimat, BC. It would carry approximately 525,000 barrels/day of tar sands oil and 193,000 barrels/day of toxic condensate back along the same route to Alberta. The pipeline would cross the traditional and unceded territory of dozens of BC First Nations, over 1,000 streams and rivers – many of them salmon bearing – would go through the Great Bear Rainforest – the last remaining intact temperate rainforests on the planet – and would bring over 200 super-sized oil tankers through one of the narrowest and most dangerous straights in Canada. Every step on this path is a disaster waiting to happen. Each one would be tragic even before there is a spill. And each one can be prevented. Read more »
