Events & Action
Tomorrow, March 26, concerned citizens from across the province will make their voices heard as part of the 10,000 voices for BC Rivers campaign. British Columbians who share your concern about the development of private power on our rivers and streams will join together in writing, phoning, faxing, and emailing the Ministers of Energy, Environment, the Premier and their MLAs to advocate for public power and wild rivers.

The BC Guardians website is quickly becoming a one-stop location for information and resources on the public vs. private power debate. It includes an extensive resource library of materials related to the BC Energy Plan, deregulation and privatization, energy conservation, sustainable energy solutions, environmental issues, and First Nations considerations. This section also includes manuals and handbooks for community organizers; resources for writing letters to newspapers (editorials) and to politicians (MLAs); tips for effective blogging (web logs), online social networking, and much more.
