Memorial for Lac Mégantic
Start: Sunday, July 05, 2015• 1:00 PM
On June 5, 2015, join us to stop oil trains in Toronto!
On July 6, 2013, an oil train exploded in Lac Megantic, Quebec, killing 47 people. Two years later, and big oil is pushing harder than ever to move more and more oil trains through North America, while oil trains keep exploding, and carbon emissions keep rising.
This May, two CN oil trains exploded in Ontario last month. We know that the new federal regulations will not protect Canadians who live in the oil train blast zone, because there is NO safe way to transport extreme tar sands and Bakken crude.
This year, from July 5-12, 2015, citizens will organize more than 100 events across the US and Canada to demand an immediate ban on oil trains.
No more exploding trains. No more tar sands. Join our event on July 5, 2015.
