Description of “Worst Case Scenario”:
Directed by Glynis Whiting, 43 min, 2001
This documentary looks at the risks of a proposed sour gas well near Clearwater River, in Rocky Mountain House, Alberta. Farmers and landowners all share concerns. Residents opposed to the well fear a deadly hydrogen sulphide leak. Shell Canada says it must drill to meet energy needs. When mediation talks break down, both sides anxiously await a ruling from Alberta’s Energy and Utilities Board.

Join us for a panel discussion following the screening with Maureen Carter-Whitney, Research Director, CIELAP, and Ramani Nadarajah, Counsel, CELA.

Green Screens partners films from the NFB with experts and panellists selected by the Canadian Institute for Environmental Law and Policy. If you are interested in the environment, Green Screens will entertain and inform you.

Liz’s Comments: FoodShare is an excellent organization with excellent leadership. Here’s more info about them (from their website):

Advocating and developing innovative and just food policies goes hand-in-hand with a community-based approach to food security. FoodShare takes a multifaceted, innovative and long-term approach to hunger and food issues that weighs issues of poverty, health and environment together in visioning an equitable food system.

Over the past several years FoodShare has been involved in an exciting consultative process and grassroots organizing that has resulted in a range of responses and discussion about what it would take for everyone to have access to affordable, healthy food in Toronto, and across Ontario and Canada.
