Report from ACThetis (Anchorage Concerns Thetis)

ACThetis (Anchorage Concerns Thetis) Aug 13, 2018 Meeting was held at the Forbes Hall, Thetis Island.

The highlights of this meeting are:

Interim Protocol – at approx. 1700h, two hours prior to the meeting, TC released a statement that they were extending the IP for another 12 months. This was done without consultation of any of the First Nation partners or SH that we are networked with/to; this does not bode well for the OPP public consultation (or lack thereof) process;

Petition signing has been approx. 130 signatures for Fed and provincial petitions. if you haven’t signed please contact the undersigned or any other ACT member you know (cut-off date Sept 15, 2018);

Local Media release pending, and ACT is searching for anyone with a link, referral or knowledge of a provincial or federal level media contact who would work with ACT to get these serious issues published at a larger scale;

Environmental Law (Cnd and/or Indigenous) - ACT is committed to doing more research and to working within their growing network (within and outside of their alliance) to find a way to hold our governments accountable.

Next Meeting: Oct 15, 2018
