This VYSO/TSYO Celebration Concert will feature orchestral favourites including Shostakovich Festival Overture, Hindemith’s Symphonic Metamorphosis, Tchaikovsky’s Francesca da Rimini and the tremendous mass orchestra finale of Tchaikovsky’s Capriccio Italien. Conductors Roger Cole and Alain Trudel will direct the talented musicians of two of Canada’s most revered youth orchestra programs. The afternoon will include the VYSO annual lottery draw, and special season finale presentations.
Free Talk – Episode 9 – Oil On The Coast
Allison and I talk to BC residents about their concerns over the proposed Endbridge pipeline from Edmonton to Kitimat BC.
Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipelines would run along the Kitimat River to the coast where crude oil tankers would be introduced for the first time. In a recent filing by Enbridge, the company suggests that it would eventually expand to shipping 944,000 barrels a day, nearly double the current proposal. With over 400 oil tankers in Douglas Channel a year, that would mean even direr consequences for the Kitimat River. With condensate tankers and Liquid Natural Gas tankers thrown in to the mix, no one would be able to fish on the coast. You can learn more about the proposal at Forest Ethics
