Friends,

Here is a petition and a strong letter and backgrounder about the impact of the Pacific Gateway Project on the fish and wildlife of the Lower Fraser River Valley.
 
Please sign the petition and spread it widely. Cut and paste the letter and send it to the politicians in charge. The names and addresses are listed on the site.

We will update the site as time permits. The plan is to add lots of links, news, photos, supporting letters, etc.  
Can we add your name on the site as one of those people who support all this information? Can we add your group to the "opposing group list"? Would your group like to add a letter of oppostition and post it on the site?
 
With the transport Minister Kevin Falcon knee-deep in the rock slide at Porteau Cove, upgrading for the Patullo Bridge and other more important transportation projects, perhaps attention will be directed to "necessary" projects other than Gateway. With a strong petition in support of fish and wildlife, this could tip the balance!
