Synopsis

Press release from the Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs on the filling of an application for a Judicial Review of the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office decision to extend the environmental certificate for Coastal GasLink’s proposed fracked gas pipeline for another five years. One of the reasons is the demonstrated direct link between extractive industries and an increase in violence against indigenous women.
