In northeast BC, fracking for natural gas has destroyed an area five times the size of Alberta’s tar sands. Well pads, seismic lines, access roads, wastewater ponds, processing plants, pipelines and more, criss-cross the landscape where forests and farmland once thrived. While communities near fracking operations suffer the biggest consequences to their health and way of life, pollution from the industry impacts all of us. Methane, the gas these companies are after, is an extremely potent greenhouse gas and fuels worsening droughts, wildfires, floods, storms and heat waves. BC’s plans to build a brand new liquefied natural gas industry would mean an explosion of fracking and fuel global climate change. Learn how the Wilderness Committee is trying to prevent this through grassroots organizing here in Chilliwack and across the province.
