Call for a halt to all construction in Wet’suwet’en territories, in Secwepmec territories, and at the Site C Dam immediately, in order to protect vulnerable communities and workers immediately.ĭuring COVID19 where people everywhere are staying home to keep each other safe, Coastal GasLink, BC Hydro, Trans Mountain, the mining industry and the RCMP are still sending hundreds of workers from all over the country to remote northern communities with limited health resources putting entire communities at risk.īefore the outbreak of COVID 19 Coastal GasLink acknowledged in their permit application that temporary workers could overwhelm local healthcare systems. Join these powerful warriors and add to the pressure. The Tiny House Warriors in Secwepmec territories are calling for an end to construction and man camps by TransMountain.Īnd the Union of BC Indian Chiefs sent an open letter demanding that “immediate action be taken to compel BC Hydro to halt all construction at Site C Dam due to the risk COVID-19 now poses to vulnerable workers and nearby Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities in northeast B.C.” CGL and the RCMP continue to enter Wet’suwet’en territories despite opposition from all five Wet’suwet’en clans. Wet’suwet’en hereditary leadership has already filed a lawsuit raising their concerns about the impacts of man camps in their territory, and yet these camps are growing before the cases are even heard. Join us: We call on Justin Trudeau, Adrian Dix, and John Horgan today to stop this public health crisis from man camps and demand they stop the work putting communities at risk.

Sign the letter demanding that Canadian politicians and companies stop this immense risk to public health. Use your voice now and rise up in solidarity with Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs, communities in Fort St John impacted by Site C construction, and Tiny House Warriors along the Trans Mountain pipeline route, as well as all communities impacted by man camps on their territories. Tell Justin Trudeau, Adrian Dix and John Horgan to stop all construction on Coastal GasLink, Site C, and Trans Mountain now!

Canada needs to respect Indigenous health. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected at least 590,000 people and claimed tens of thousands of lives - and yet politicians and fossil fuel CEOs are continuing to put thousands of workers, and people in the northern and rural communities they are working in, at severe risk for oil and gas profits.

Workers on these projects are living in man camps by the hundreds in tight quarters, sharing meals and housing, and are unable to quarantine, increasing the risk posed to both communities and workers. While people are warned to remain at home and take precautions due to COVID 19, the oil and gas industry is continuing work along pipeline routes, and industry is pushing forward with mega-projects across Canada.

Stop all the in
