The Uranium Free Kootenay/Boundary invites all to attend a Public
Awareness
Forum, hosted by the Uranium Free BC Coalition, May 12, 2007, from 9:30am to
4:00pm, at the Brilliant Cultural Center, in Castlegar, BC. This will be a
highly informative and positively charged community event, featuring talks,
visual presentations, entertainment, vegetarian potluck lunch and community
involvement.
Special guest Speakers will be sharing information, outlining ways
Canadian
uranium product is being processed and used along with the resulting
health and
environmental impacts. They will be updating the public to the potential
hazards of exploration and mining of uranium in our regions, and will offer
alternative more sustainable energy options, which support the health and
well
being of all living communities.
Speakers include members of the Uranium Free BC Coalition, Canadian
Coalition
for Nuclear Responsibility, Committee for a Clean Kettle Valley, and BC Land
Owner Rights Group, to name a few. Topics to be addressed include Uranium
101,
Health and Environmental Hazards, Existing Regulatory Framework,
Commercial and
Military Uses and Impacts, and Sustainable Energy Solutions.
The Forum will be video taped, and the press has been invited, as
well as
MLA's, MP, City Councilors, Mayors, Regional District Boards, and members of
Interior Health.
The entire event will conclude with a Uranium Free BC Coalition general
meeting, which will be open to the public, where coalition members will be
discussing strategies and future action plans.
The Uranium Free BC Coalition welcomes the energy and support of all
people in
their work to renew a moratorium on uranium exploration and mining in BC
until
an all-party legislative ban is in place.
