Council of Canadians chairperson Maude Barlow will be on a speaking tour in British Columbia starting this Thursday.
Barlow will be in Courtenay (April 6), Nanaimo (April 7), Victoria (April 8), Williams Lake (April 10), and Kamloops (April 11).
She will be speaking about her most recent book Boiling Point: Government Neglect, Corporate Abuse, and Canada’s Water Crisis at these public meetings.
She says, “My book is a cry from the heart. It is time to abandon our erroneous beliefs that Canada has unlimited supplies of water, that Canadians have taken care of this water heritage or that we still have lots of time to do so. We need a strong, national plan of action based on a new water ethic that puts water protection and water justice at the heart of all our policies and laws. The path forward is clear, if not simple.”
Barlow’s speaking tour is happening in the lead-up to the pivotal and close May 9 provincial election in British Columbia.
