DEFEND THE TAHLTAN ELDERS AT ISKUT AND TELEGRAPH!
OPPOSE SHELL’S COAL BED METHANE DEVELOPMENT!
SUPPORT THE STRUGGLE TO PROTECT THE KLAPPAN SACRED HEADWATERS!

Rally and Court Support: Friday August 31 at 10 am- 1 pm. BC Supreme Court. 800 Smithe St., Vancouver

On Friday August 31, Shell Canada will be seeking an injunction in Vancouver’s BC Supreme Court to have the Elders of the Iskut and Telegraph communities forcibly removed and arrested by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. This is the latest in the ongoing struggle to oppose Shell Canada’s Coal-bed Methane exploration project in the Sacred Headwaters of the Stikine, Skeena and Nass River watershed.

The Elders and their supporters have vowed they will maintain their vigilance over this sacred culturally significant area irregardless of what the outcome maybe. In their words “it is for our grandchildren we are still here after two and a half years and we will remain here as long as we are breathing to protect this land.”
