Tim Takaro
*******
On behalf of the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE BC), the Canadian Association of Nurses for the Environment (CANE), Lax'yip Firekeepers, and My Sea to Sky, we would like to invite you to attend a community forum to learn about the human health impacts of liquefied natural gas (LNG) development in BC.
This is particularly relevant given FortisBC’s proposal to expand the Tilbury LNG facility in Delta.
VANCOUVER
Date: Thursday, April 30, 2026
Time: 7 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. (doors open at 6:30pm)
Location: SFU Harbour Centre - Fletcher Challenge Theatre
Registration: RSVP HERE
Overview
A community forum for First Nations, government, media, and the public to hear directly from doctors, nurses, and frontline community members about the health harms of LNG.
Doctors and nurses will share the latest research on the threats that LNG development poses for public health and BC’s healthcare system, especially in rural and Indigenous communities. Residents will share their firsthand experience in Kitimat where excess flaring by LNG Canada is affecting the health and wellbeing of community members.
At a time when many British Columbians are looking for credible, accessible information about the health implications of fossil fuel expansion, we believe it is important to create opportunities
for dialogue grounded in public health expertise and frontline community experience.
Key speakers:
- Dr Tim Takaro, Professor Emeritus at Simon Fraser University, Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment BC
- Dr Melissa Lem, Family Doctor and Past President of Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment
- Ankur Patel, Kitimat Acute Care Nurse, Canadian Association of Nurses for the Environment
- Lax'yip Firekeepers
We hope you can join us.
