Save Pinecone Burke and the Upper Pitt!

The re-convened Pitt Meadows public meeting has just been announced. The public hearing is:

Tuesday, March 25, 2008
Pitt Meadows Secondary School
19438 116B Avenue
Pitt Meadows, B.C.
4:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.

The Wilderness Committee will be running buses out to the public hearing. Bus departures will be at Waterfront Station at 5.30 pm and Braid SkyTrain station at 6 pm. For full details and to reserve a place on the bus, please call 604 683-8220, or email andrew@wildernesscommittee.org

This is the final, and most important, of the public hearings on the Upper Pitt private power proposal. A strong turnout at this meeting gives us a real chance to stop this project. The last Pitt Meadows meeting drew over 500 people, and this meeting needs to be larger. We are expecting a sizable media turn out, giving us a platform to tell the truth about the impacts of private power. With your help, we can stop the attack on Pinecone Burke Provincial Park, keep the Upper Pitt safe from large-scale development, and push back on the private power industry. Spread the word far and wide!

If you haven't yet written a letter about the park boundary process, please take a few minutes to make your voice heard. The comment period for the public is open until April 2, 2008. Write to:
