This week: You may remember the War in the Woods back in the 90’s, where hundreds of activists put their bodies on the line and were arrested to stop the destruction of that gem on the west side of Vancouver Island. All’s well that ends well though, and the Clayoquot, armed with its U.N. recognition is now saved for posterity; or is it?
Glen Scott is a Tofino-based writer and newly minted environmental activist working to increase awareness of the threat of mining on Catface Mountain, in the heart of the U.N.’s World Biosphere Reserve. Glen Scott in the first half.
And; Kevin Neish is a long-time activist who has borne witness to elections in South America, and served as a peace observer to protect threatened populations there.

He has been invited to participate in the upcoming convoy, and joins us in the second half.
