SUMMARY:Crude Oil Tankers in Burrard Inlet: The Risk
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: This event is postponed. New date will be posted her
 e once determined.\n\nCurrently, an average of two oil tankers each we
 ek\ncarries up to 700,000 barrels of Alberta Tar Sands\ncrude oil thro
 ugh the port of Vancouver. The\nindustry's plan is to increase the cap
 acity to 10 tankers\nper week. Each of these tankers carry's 3‐times
  the oil\nspilled by the Exxon Valdez. What is the risk of an oil\nspi
 ll in Burrard Inlet or Georgia Strait? Are we\nprepared? Can we preven
 t it? An alliance of\nfishermen and concerned citizens are challenging
  the\noil industry and attempting to preserve the marine\nenvironments
  in BC waters. They are planning a flotilla\nfor the fall. This presen
 tation will explain the risks and\nthe plan to prevent a catastrophe.\
 n\nRex Weyler is a published author, historian, and\necologist; his bo
 oks and essays on ecology and social\nhistory include Greenpeace, Bloo
 d of the Land, and\nThe Jesus Sayings. He writes a monthly column, “
 Deep\nGreen” for Greenpeace International.\nNo charge (60927)\n\nFor
