The BC Green Caucus has officially called on the BC NDP government to immediately stop the logging of productive old-growth forests on Vancouver Island, as well as demanding them to develop and implement a second-growth forestry strategy for the province.
The North Cowichan Riding Association is extremely excited about the announcement and has invited MLA Sonia Furstenau to Chemainus to speak with us about it!
We will also hear from Guy Dauncey, author and eco-futurist who works to develop a positive vision of a sustainable future, and to translate that vision into action.
Please bring a friend, family member or a co-worker who would enjoy to hear how the BC Greens are working towards a more sustainable future.
There is no cost to attend; of course guests will be welcome to make a donation to the BC Greens Nanaimo-North Cowichan Riding Association.

Protecting your health
BC Greens recognize that airborne illnesses and pollutants pose a significant health risk to everyone, especially the young, elderly, and immunocompromised, while caregivers, healthcare professionals, and support staff come into regular contact with vulnerable persons. When choosing venues, BC Greens prioritize outdoor spaces, and indoor spaces with good ventilation. In closed indoor spaces, we encourage attendees to wear well-fitting masks (N95, KN95, or KF94), especially during the respiratory-illness season.
Creating safe spaces
The BC Green Party is committed to providing an environment free of discrimination and harassment, where all individuals are treated with respect and dignity, can contribute fully and have equal speaking opportunities. To support this commitment, all event attendees will be expected to follow the standards of our Safe Spaces Participant's Guide.
