THE POWER OF A PHONE CALL
Two quick phone calls will help keep oil and gas development out of the Sacred Headwaters
Shell Canada wants to drill for coalbed methane in the Sacred Headwaters, but all the amazing work we’ve done together has kept them away for two years.

We are so close
A number of signs suggest the BC government and Shell might just be rethinking the project.
They’ve received thousands of resolutions against drilling from First Nations, municipalities, fishermen, unions and ordinary citizens in BC. You can sign your own copy online.
They’ve heard from prominent Canadians, like Maude Barlow, National Chairperson of the Council of Canadians, and Wade Davis, Explorer in Residence at National Geographic.
They’ve learned that the Sacred Headwaters is such a special place, it meets UNESCO’s criteria for designation as a World Heritage site.
And today, an ad in the Calgary Herald is going to ramp up the pressure on Shell to make the right decision.
So now comes the fun part!
HUNDREDS of people across BC and Alberta will phone Gordon Campbell and Shell and let them know to keep CBM drilling out of our Sacred Headwaters FOREVER!
Join us! It’s as easy as making two quick phone calls. Just pick up the phone between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Friday, November 21st and follow the instructions below.
With the amount of resistance shown to this development, Gordon Campbell and Shell will be forced to make the right decision.
Thanks for you all your support, and keep up the awesome work!
