Sunday December 7, 10:30 AM - Transit Not Gateway Action on Global Climate Change Day of Action

Join us on Sunday December 7 at 10:30 am near the Scott Road SkyTrain station for an action against Gateway and for better public transit. The action will illustrate our demand for better transit service, instead of destructive freeways, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 

WHAT: With the support of gatewaysucks.org, an informal coalition of greater Vancouver residents organizing in opposition to the Gateway freeway projects, this event will feature symbolic action related to Gateway and climate change. 

WHERE: On the overpass over the King George Highway from the Scott Road SkyTrain station (just exit the station to the east, and follow the footpath east and then north - about five minutes). The address is 126A St. & King George Highway in Surrey.

BRING: Water resistant footwear if you want to tour the proposed route of the South Fraser Freeway through Bridgeview after the action. Signs related to the climate crisis, Gateway and transit would be appreciated.
