This Canada Water Week, March 14-22, Victoria’s environmental organizations are coming together to talk about water – the good, the bad, and the future.  View “White Water, Black Gold” by Edmonton filmmaker David Lavallee March 17th at 7 pm, 1923 Fernwood. The film follows David on his three-year journey across western Canada in search of answers about the world’s thirstiest oil industry: the Tarsands. In this film, David exposes the connection between fossil fuels, climate change, human rights, and our depleting water supply. He finds that, from Inuvik to Fort Chipwyan, Hudson’s Bay, and the Pacific Coast, half of Canada’s water is at stake.
