Connexions Calendar

Protectors, cross-movement resistance to Alton Gas


March 27, 2017


On March 27th join protectors Dorene Bernard, Jim Maloney, and Dale Poullette to learn about their struggle to protect the water, climate, Indigenous rights, and environmental rights by stopping the Alton Gas Project. Meet these three and other local activists to learn how you can support the fight against Alton Gas.
Mi’kmaq and non-Indigenous communities near the Shubenacadie River have been organizing resistance to the planned Alton Gas project for several years. This project would create massive underground natural gas storage caverns, see hundreds of thousands of tonnes of salt dumped into the Shubenacadie River in a matter of months, and would risk water contamination, methane leaks, and expansion of the fossil fuel industry in Atlantic Canada.

Time: 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM
Venue: McInnes Room, Student Union Building,
Location: Dalhousie University Halifax, NS
