Ceremonial leader Rueben George of Tsleil-Waututh Nation invites faith communities to come learn about and pray for the waters of the inlet.
You may have heard the Vancouver Port Authority plans to dredge near the Second Narrows Bridge later this year.
The reason for dredging is to allow more oil to be shipped from the Westridge Marine Terminal (part of the Trans Mountain pipeline facility). Right now, oil tankers can fill up to roughly 80% capacity to guarantee they can fit under the Second Narrows Bridge. Proposed dredging near the bridge would allow them to fill up to full capacity.
As we prepare to mobilize, Rueben George of Tsleil-Waututh Nation is inviting people to join him in prayer and action for the inlet. He is inviting supporters and diverse faith communities from across the Lower Mainland to bring their communities out to an event at Vancouver’s St. Andrew’s Wesley Church to share words and prayers for the water.
This is an open invitation to everyone, whether you identify as part of a faith community or not!
