Alberta considering 3 oil pipeline routes + 6 ports through northern B.C. (documents in private consultations).

Construction as early as 2027.

All routes end near #HaidaGwaii, an archipelago and unique biocultural zone. Located on Queen Charlotte Fault -- produces significant earthquakes once every 3-30 years.

I love the wild #Westcoast on the island. Once you pass Sooke township area, there are tons of wilderness access trails into/through forests & access to several isolated beaches. This is a few kms past French Beach area.

#Laichwiltach Nation’s Hereditary Chief Tsahaukuse's (aka George Quocksister Jr.) traditional, #handwoven Chief's #hat. Made from yellow #cedar bark with beading & an #EagleFeather attached.
Sitting in front of the woven hat is a row of some #handcarved miniature canoe #paddles, carved from red & yellow cedar. Chief Darren Blaney of the #Xwémalhkwu aka #Homalco #FirstNation #carved over 100 of these paddles. They were carved in #honour of the many young Homalco lives lost.
