Upcoming #lecture talk at #UVIC.

From #Forests Frayed to Forests Renewed.
April 16, 2026.

Join us April 16, 2026 at the University of Victoria for a thought-provoking talk with keynote speaker Ben Parfitt as he explores, Forests Frayed to Forests Renewed: The Case for Rezoning BC’s Public Lands.

Ben has covered #forestry and natural resource issues in #BritishColumbia since the 1980s both as a journalist and in his previous role as senior public policy analyst with the now-closed Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, BC Office. He is currently a reporter with The Tyee where he covers the forestry and oil and gas industries, among others, and their impacts on critical natural resources like water.

In his talk, Ben will explain the consequences of today’s outdated land use policies and outline how rezoning BC’s public lands can set us on a more desirable course by conserving at-risk primary forests, restore lands scarred by industrialization and support jobs in a refocused, value-oriented forest industry.

Whether you’re an activist, policy maker or someone passionate about environmental preservation this is a talk you won’t want to miss.

University of Victoria – [Lecture Theatre HSD A240]

"There are many of us who object to the fascist logic of the machine, but we are fragmented and isolated. For this reason, we invite all AI critical and AI abolitionist groups/activists/individuals to come to a joint networking + strategy meeting in Copenhagen. Our aims for the meeting: get to know each other; establish a network; find points in common; and start the process of building an action together. Our aims beyond the meeting: conscientiously objecting, rejecting, resisting and dismantling AI. If you are reading this message, you're invited to come!

There will be drinks, snacks, and humans.
