Without water, we...die

Chapman Creek supplies 80% of the Sunshine Coast's drinking water. Current industrial activities threaten the quality of this valuable resource. Did you realize that:

• Western Forest Products is currently constructing new logging roads into the Chapman Creek watershed to begin logging immediately
• The Medical Health Officer considers that the logging and road building underway are a threat to our drinking water supply
• CNI holds a gravel mining permit as well as logging rights in the Chapman watershed
• Road building, logging and mining in our watershed will increase turbidity and bacteria counts in the water, change the hydrology of the watershed, will destabilize stream banks and surrounding hillsides, and threaten the creeks salmon stocks
• Alarming, our watershed has no real protections
  

Confirmed speakers include:

Paul Martiquet - Medical Health Officer for the SC
Nicholas Simons - local MLA
Barry Janyk - Mayor of Gibsons, SCRD Director, Gibsons
Dan Bouman - Exec. Director, SC Conservation Assoc.
