Oct. 24 - Where will you be?

Will you stay at home on Saturday October 24. Or go to your yoga class. Or go for a nice walk in the woods? Or clean up your bathroom?

Across the planet millions of people will be doing something else. They will be out on the streets demanding that our governments stop cooking our only planet. They will not be dissuaded by a bit of rain, many will march despite the threat of being attacked by the police or military.

In Vancouver the march starts at 12 noon at the center of the Cambie Bridge, only a couple of blocks from the new 2nd Ave subway station. Will you and your friends be there, or do you have something more important to do?

At 7 pm, head over to Christ Church Cathedral for inspirational speakers.

Our goal as the Livable Region Coalition (LRC) is to provide a voice for those who believe that efficient and sustainable transportation is a cornerstone for the future of the Lower Mainland. We believe that through creating attractive transportation choices, encouraging urban density, and preserving green space and agricultural land, we can make our communities better places to live and grow.

We believe that the provincial government's strategy to pursue excessive development through the Gateway project is detrimental to the well-being of Greater Vancouver. The Gateway project's stated goals of reducing pollution and congestion will not materialize. Evidence for this comes from many sources. Instead, we advocate real solutions that will actually work and will be less expensive.
