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

Friday April 28, 2006
10:00 am – 4:30 pm (Registration starts at 9:30 am)
Ranchland Administration Building
Chain Lakes, AB

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 examine such human rights as the right to health, the right to a clean and healthy environment, and the right to cultural integrity. It will consider how these rights might apply to the development of oil and gas in Alberta.

The Workshop is organized by the Canadian Institute of Resources Law (www.cirl.ca) and the Alberta Civil Liberties Research Centre (www.rmcla.ca) with funding from the Alberta Law Foundation. The cost is $40.00 ($25.00 for students/seniors) and includes all materials, coffee, snacks and lunch. To register, contact Pat Albrecht at (403) 220-3974 or email [email protected]. We hope to see you there.
