Notes

  • BeyondCoal.ca is not yet active. The site will be quite basic and will highlight simple facts, including:
    1. coal's significant contribution to global warming,
    2. the rapid increase in the export of US coal through BC,
    3. the fact that Roberts Bank (Westshore) in Delta has been the single busiest coal port in all of North America over the last decade,
    4. plans for 18 new coal mines in BC,
    5. the BC government's support for a doubling of coal exports out of the province,
    6. and the urgent need to begin reducing global warming emissions if we are to avoid catastrophic climate change.
  • The site will also provide information on how citizens can express their concerns to government, and links to other groups active on this issue.

Total cost of the campaign: $5,900 (two billboards for one month). This includes creative development, printing and rental.
