About the Event
Dear Heidi,
This shipping terminal expansion project proposed by the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority would occur in a highly important ecological area for migratory birds and other wildlife, including
juvenile Chinook salmon. The environmental impacts during and after construction would be significant to several Salish Sea species, including Southern Resident killer whales that are
already in peril. While proponents of the expansion have argued for its strong economic incentives, coming from scientists and environmental groups in BC and WA, labor groups, the Lummi
Nation and some First Nations. This project demonstrates the challenges of managing an international ecosystem with a growing economy while striving to protect iconic species that are
also important economically and culturally. And yet many people haven't even heard about the project. Join us to learn more.

The twin-terminal Roberts Bank port facility, managed by the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, will increase its capacity significantly as a result of the forthcoming expansion known
as Roberts Bank Terminal 2. The project, located on the Salish Sea coastline in Delta, British Columbia, was approved by the Government of Canada in April of 2023.
