Canada’s tar sands: KAIROS delegation statement

An Ecumenical Delegation that visited Alberta in Canada to learn more about the tar sands’ impacts on people and the earth has issued a concluding statement that tar sands pose complex questions requiring public discussion, independent studies on their cumulative impacts, protection of indigenous peoples’ rights, and more regulation for the common good. The delegation statement urges Canada to commit to a sustainable energy policy. Both BP and Shell have operations in Canada’s tar sands sector.
