Ottawa may be eyeing a new southern pipeline route, but let’s be clear: changing the route doesn’t change the risk, it just moves it.

In an interview with CTV, SCBC climate campaigner David Farrell raised our concerns not just about environmental impacts, but about whether this project even makes economic sense:

“I think it’s actually telling that we’re not seeing proponents come forward asking for a pipeline... they know it’s not a good economic risk.”

At a time when we need urgent climate action, doubling down on fossil fuel infrastructure is going in the wrong direction.

We’re proud to support the local premiere of təm kʷaθ nan Namesake at DOXA next weekend. Namesake is a powerful film that follows the Tla’amin Nation and the city commonly known as Powell River as they navigate a complex conversation about the city’s name, history, and belonging.

Forests are more than scenery – they are climate solutions, biodiversity strongholds, and living homes that have stood for centuries. In British Columbia, ancient, old-growth ecosystems continue to be logged faster than they can recover.

This Earth Month, stand for what still stands. Protect old growth. Respect Indigenous leadership. Choose a future where forests are valued for the life they sustain, not just the timber they yield.

Make a donation today to support the protection of old-growth forests: https://sierraclub.bc.ca/earth-month-2026/

Old-growth forests are complex ecosystems. Here, towering trees, young saplings, fallen logs, and lush understories all work together to support incredible biodiversity. From nesting birds to nutrient-rich soil, every layer plays a role in sustaining life.

But in B.C., only a fraction of these irreplaceable forests remain – and many are still at risk.

If you care about protecting these ecosystems for future generations, now’s the time to act.

Support the movement, raise your voice, or donate this Earth Month to help defend old-growth forests before they’re gone:

Denying First Nations access to courts threatens justice, reconciliation, and the lands and waters we all depend on. Weakening Indigenous rights also weakens environmental protection, putting forests, rivers, and climate progress at risk.

Indigenous leadership is essential to safeguarding ecosystems. Silencing those voices would set back both reconciliation and conservation by decades.

With amendments to DRIPA (Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act) paused, Sierra Club BC is endorsing a joint call asking Premier Eby and his government to uphold meaningful implementation of DRIPA that is co-signed by legal, labour, faith, environmental, academic, arts, and community leaders.

Hummingbirds are one of the most charismatic, beautiful, and abundant species across Southern B.C. — but did you know this about them?

Hummingbirds don’t actually change colour: they instead bend the light. Their feathers are made of microscopic structures that reflect light differently depending on the angle, making them flash from dark to dazzling in an instant.

So next time you spot a hummingbird, take a closer look at its brilliant display of colour.

We’re excited to celebrate the release of our friend Suzanne Simard’s new book, “When the Forest Breathes”.

In a powerful new interview with The Guardian, Suzanne shares what decades of research have shown: forests are not just collections of trees, but deeply connected communities where cooperation, care, and reciprocity are essential to survival.

At a time when old-growth forests are still under threat here in British Columbia, her work continues to challenge extractive systems and inspire a different path forward: one rooted in respect for ecosystems and Indigenous leadership.

When forests are treated as communities and not commodities, we all benefit.

Read the interview and learn more about Suzanne's work:

Earth Month is a time to celebrate the planet — but also to stand up for it.

In B.C., only a fraction of old-growth forests remain, and much of it is still open to logging. These forests are critical for biodiversity, climate resilience, and community well-being.

We can’t afford to lose them.

The decisions being made right now will shape the future of these ecosystems and our climate.
