New Conference

A Workshop for the Public:  “Health, Culture and Oil and Gas ¾ Some Human Rights Issues”

Saturday, January 15, 2005   

Ma-Me-O Beach Community Hall, Pigeon Lake Alberta

9 am – 4 pm

This Workshop will explore the links between human rights law and oil and gas development in Alberta.  It will focus on two primary areas of concern — health and culture or way of life.  The Workshop will ask whether human rights law has anything to say about health and cultural impacts from oil and gas development.  It will examine such human rights as the right to health, the right to a clean and healthy environment, and the right to cultural integrity.  The Workshop will also examine how human rights law might apply to the regulatory process through which oil and gas development proceeds in Alberta.

The Workshop is organized by the Canadian Institute of Resources Law and the Alberta Civil Liberties Research Centre with funding from the Alberta Law Foundation.  The cost is $40.00 ($25.00 for seniors) and includes all materials, coffee, snacks and lunch.  To register, contact Pat Albrecht at 403.220.3973 or fax 403.282.6182.  We hope to see you there!
