    Submissions and public documents on the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project

    2016 October 132024 July 8

    Putting the Great Bear Rainforest at risk, the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project posed serious implications for the wildlife of coastal British Columbia through habitat destruction associated with increased tanker traffic and the very real threat of diluted bitumen spills. Raincoast was an intervenor in the CEAA/ NEB (joint panel) review process and, along with First Nations, filed legal challenges to the project’s approval by the NEB and the federal government. Those legal challenges were successful and upheld by the Canadian Federal government.

    Groundswell: a small film about making a big stand

    2012 October 142024 August 29

    In collaboration with Patagonia and accomplished film maker Chris Malloy, Raincoast set sail with a world-famous line up of US and Canadian surfers into the Great Bear Rainforest. Their goal was to produce an epic surf documentary while at the same time educating people as to the threats and potential impacts of the Northern Gateway project to both habitat and a way of life.
