In response to landowner concerns about the growing oil and gas industry in British Columbia, the provincial government has created the "Northeast B.C. Rural Residents Independent Land Information & Advocacy Office" or "Farmers' Advocate"). The stated purposes of the Advocate are to: disseminate information; resolve problems; emphasize facilitation and negotiation; and provide an effective, independent "gateway" to existing organizations with mandates relating to rural landowners.
A Request for Proposals by candidates interested in the Farmers' Advocate position closed February 11, 2010.

Do you know if there have been complaints of water well contamination from the oil and gas wells? Any credibility to the documentary "Gasland"?
ReplyDeleteIf you're looking for information on the effect of oil and gas wells on water supplies, I would suggest you check with CAEPLA - the Canadian Association of Energy and Pipeline Landowner Associations at www.landownerassociation.ca
