Join us for an inspiring evening in partnership with CPAWS and Keeps of The Water!
Nearly two years have passed since the disastrous tailings spill at the Imperial Oil Kearl Mine in northern Alberta and downstream communities of the region have yet to see justice. To commemorate the incident and to draw attention to the ongoing crisis that is tailings expansion in the northern boreal, we are hosting a film screening of “Killer Water” by Brandi Morin.
The evening will start with words from CPAWS Northern Alberta’s Boreal Program Manager, Kaitlyn Philip, about the growing risk of tailings ponds in Alberta and how it puts communities and the environment at risk. Followed by an introduction to SNAP by Executive Director, Caitlin Bodewitz.
You’ll be free to stand, roam or settle in to watch the film. Beverages and light snacks will be provided for the film screening. You will also have the opportunity to silkscreen your own T-shirt, tote, or print!
Below are some phrases you’ll be able to print onto your own materials to take home.
“Tailings are Toxic – like my ex” “Dear Alberta, Break up with Tailings” Please bring a shirt, Tote, or Flat surface to silkscreen if you wish to partake in the activity. Proceeds from the event will be split between CPAWS Northern Alberta and SNAP.
$20.00
