Party 4 Funds

The after party for the 2025 Run for FUNds, all are welcome! Donations go towards the Raven Trust's Heiltsuk Campaign:

Heiltsuk Nation is taking Kirby — an oil shipping company — Canada, and British Columbia to court. The case focuses on damages from the catastrophic Nathan E. Stewart spill that spilled toxic fuels into Heiltsuk’s marine harvesting areas.

Heiltsuk Nation suffered a violent disruption to their way of life, their economy, their history and identity, and their spiritual connection to the land. The spill contaminated key shellfish harvesting areas and critical habitat for the Northern Abalone.

A win for the Heiltsuk could toughen oil spill regulations from coast to coast to coast across Canada and set a precedent for Aboriginal title to the foreshore and seabed. It would strengthen Heiltsuk jurisdiction in the courts so they can manage their territory according to Heiltsuk laws.
