Public Workshop: "Health, Culture & Oil & Gas - Some Human Rights Issues"

Friday April 28, 2006
10:00 am - 4:30 PM (Registration starts at 9:30 am)
Ranchland Administration Building
Chain Lakes, AB

This Workshop will explore the links between human rights law and oil and gas development in Alberta. It will focus on two primary areas of concern - health and culture, or way of life. The Workshop will examine such human rights as the right to health, the right to a clean and healthy environment, and the right to cultural integrity. It will consider how these rights might apply to the development of oil and gas in Alberta.

The Workshop is organized by the Canadian Institute of Resources Law and the Alberta Civil Liberties Research Centre with funding from the Alberta Law Foundation. The cost is $40.00 ($25.00 for students/seniors) and includes all materials, coffee, snacks and lunch. To register, contact Pat Albrecht at (403) 220-3974 or email [email protected]. We hope to see you there. Read More

Action Alert: Speak Out Against West Fraser and their Destruction of Critical Wildlife Habitat in Alberta and British Columbia

Alberta Foothills Network

On April 26th at 11:00 am, Canadian logging giant West Fraser is holding their Annual General Meeting in Edmonton, at the Fairmont Hotel MacDonald.

West Fraser claims to be fully committed to sustainable forest management in their tenured areas. However, in collusion with the provincial governments of Alberta and British Columbia, West Fraser continues to log critical caribou and grizzly bear habitat on our public lands.

West Fraser holds tenure rights to over half of the Alberta Foothills ecoregion, which contains the last remaining intact woodland caribou habitat in Alberta. This is also the last intact habitat of its kind that continues to support grizzly bear populations. West Fraser is also the primary tenure-holder in much of the inland temperate rainforest of British Columbia, which is the only place in the world where mountain caribou live. Despite their stated commitment to sustainable forest management, West Fraser continues to log in these ecologically sensitive areas. Read More
