Shuswap River Alert
SIGN the RESOLUTION to protect water at source.
Also see links below.
Our communities are faced with Intensive chemical farming as well as Intensive Cattle Operations (ICOs) that are polluting the headwaters of the Shuswap River.
While people drank from its water, and from streams feeding it, as recently as a few years ago, the pollution that is now reaching it makes people fear contamination from even swimming in it. BC’s regulatory system continues to let polluters profit from environmental devastation. Therefore it falls upon us, the concerned citizens, to demand accountability and action.
Urgent action is a moral imperative. Join us by demanding immediate protection of water at source and a complete overhaul of BC policies that prioritize profit over the preservation of nature and the protection of our health. Together, we can, we must, compel the authorities to uphold their duty to safeguard water at source and prevent further degradation.
