Take Back Our BC

A Provincial Tour for Common Sense Canadians

Tuesday, October 26 in Golden
7-9 PM @ the Golden Seniors' Centre
Featuring guest speaker Rachel Darvill from Wildsight

Salmon, rivers, oil tankers, democracy.  These will be the subjects of a rousing tour of BC this Fall and Spring, led by Rafe Mair and Damien Gillis, founders of the popular new online journal, The Common Sense Canadian - a voice for the public interest and source of dynamic information on topics vital to Canadians.  Beginning in late October in the Kootenays, Rafe and Damien will embark on a tour of some 30 communities around the province over the next half year.

Following a similar, highly successful series of shows just over a year ago led by Mair and Gillis to raise awareness about the devastating policy of the privatization of BC’s watersheds, these two-hour events will feature Gillis' new short documentary on the proposed Enbridge pipeline to BC's North Coast, "Oil in Eden", speeches by Mair and other local community organizers - plus the opportunity to hear from the public, answer their questions, and provide action items they can undertake to get involved in these critical issues.

Mair will bring his trademark no-nonsense wisdom and inspiration to these topics. 

The tour is designed to inform and empower British Columbians, while expanding Gillis and Mair's new journal, The Common Sense Canadian, through signing citizens up to their contact list and raising much-needed financial support.

Join us as we work to take back our BC.  Now is the time!
