An expedition across the Columbia Ice Fields on foot and down the Athabasca River by canoe leads to the Fort McMurray Tarsands- the largest poisoning of water on earth. This investigative documentary looks at the fight over Alberta’s water and oil, the river running through it, and the people caught in the middle.

Please join us for a very important panel about the largest industrial project in history that has been devastating the environment and communities in Alberta. This enormous development is expanding across the continent with little to no regard for the eco-systems and communities that lie in the path of the infrastructure. While public is slowly being informed about the devastation in Alberta, few BC residents are aware of the tar sands related infrastructure and operations extending into BC. Come find out about how projects in BC are supporting this project and what residents of BC can do to help stop the devastation in Alberta.
