Keep our waters safe


No Tankers Day!

March 24th is no tanker day- celebrating the right of BC citizens to ask for a continued ban on tankers being on the beautiful coast.

Protect our Pacific coast from oil spills
For 37 years the northern coastal waters of British Columbia have been protected from oil tanker traffic. This ban is now under threat.
Plans to build pipelines and a supertanker port in BC to service the Alberta Tar Sands are moving forward with support from the BC and Canadian Governments.
But there is still time to save our coast.


Leading environmental groups from BC and Canada have declared March 24th No Tankers Day, a national day of action to keep BC's coast safe from oil spills.
The 20th anniversary of the Exxon Valdez oil spill will be used to highlight the importance of keeping BC's coast safe from oil spills and the threat of tar sands related oil tanker traffic.
Show your support for protecting the coast of the Great Bear Rainforest by making all your purchases on March 24 in NoTanker loonies, depositing NoTanker loonies at your local bank, or calling media and asking them to profile the day.
