There will be a screening of “Directly Affected,” a film about the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion on June 10 at 7 p.m. at the Odd Fellows Hall.

Impacts to those in Canada and the San Juan Islands will be discussed with filmmakers and concerned islanders.

The San Juans Alliance and the Raincoast Conservation Foundation are co-sponsoring the free event. This Canadian film tells the story of the people impacted in our neighboring British Columbia by Kinder Morgan’s proposed Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion.

The filmmakers will be present, and there will be discussion about the proposed pipeline’s impact on the San Juan Islands and how islanders can help send our message across the border.

“This is an inspiring film about people standing up to protect their environment, economy and their culture.  It is important that we look at all proposed fossil fuel export projects from Canada and the U.S. with an eye toward impacts of increased vessel traffic and safety to our shared Salish Sea,” said Stephanie Buffum, FRIENDS of the San Juans’ executive director.
