On February 27th, SocialCoast will be hosting a 100 mile dinner in collaboration with the Ancient Forest Alliance. Our goal is to finish raising $1000 for their organization, and if all goes well, much more.

The tickets for dinner have been sold out already, but there are still tickets for the afterparty. The musical talents of Mike Edel will help ring in the celebration of the Ancient Forest Alliance's two year anniversary.

British Columbia's Auditor General John Doyle released a report finding that the government has failed to plant enough trees to ensure a healthy forest industry in the future.

Worse, the government lacks reliable information on the state of the forest and has no plan for what to do about it, he said.

Various observers said Doyle's report confirmed what critics have said for years, but the minister responsible insisted the province has a plan and is doing the necessary inventory work.

The chairman of Canada’s truth and reconciliation commission says removing more than 100,000 aboriginal children from their homes and placing them in residential schools was an act of genocide.

Justice Murray Sinclair says the United Nations defines genocide to include the removal of children based on race, then placing them with another race to indoctrinate them. He says Canada has been careful to ensure its residential school policy was not “caught up” in the UN’s definition.
