SUMMARY:TMX Zine Making
DESCRIPTION:Share your thoughts about the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion (TMX) through this collective zine-making session. You’ll have a chance to learn more about anti-TMX efforts\, share your grief\, anxieties or frustrations\, and share your aspirations for the future. Perfect for student organizers looking to process their experiences and newcomers looking to learn more about the pipeline. \nPlease note that we’ll be asking folks to arrive on time for this event to get the most out of the session! \nA BIT ABOUT TMX \nFirst built in 1953\, the Trans Mountain Pipeline connects oil facilities (the tar sands) in Edmonton AB with ocean tankers in Burnaby BC. In 2012\, fossil fuel company Kinder Morgan set sights on expanding the pipeline. This system includes the large oil tanks on the south side of Burnaby Mountain\, located dangerously close to SFU Burnaby. \nFederal and provincial governments approved the project without the consent of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation\, and the project has faced immense backlash for its contrived consultation process and disregard of Indigenous sovereignty. In 2018 the expansion was dropped by Kinder Morgan due to uncertainty around the project and bought by the federal government. \nIndigenous leaders and activists\, environmental groups\, the Tsleil-Waututh Nation and other affected First Nations and communities continue to fight against TMX through activism\, education and advocacy. \nLAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT \nThis event will take place on the unceded homelands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)\, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish)\, səlil̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh)\, and kʷikʷəƛw̓əm (Kwikwetlem) Nations. Unceded means that this land was never surrendered\, transferred or relinquished in any way and\, as such\, the land remains sovereign Indigenous territory. \nAs people living and working on these lands\, we are accountable to the laws and protocols of the people who have cared for this land since time immemorial. It is our intention to ground our discussion in Indigenous sovereignty over the lands and waters on which the TMX project has been proposed\, and use this time together to unpack the colonial systems of power that perpetuate projects like TMX. \nACCESSIBILITY \nEmbark Sustainability events are free and open to Embark members which includes Simon Fraser University undergraduate and graduate students\, as well as Embark Associate Members. \nThis event will be held indoors at the SUB Social Stage\, the seating area beside Blenz on the 3000 level. Accessibility details to note include: \n\nWheelchair accessible restrooms are located nearby\, on the 3000 level of the SUB near the elevators. Gender neutral bathrooms can be found on the 1000 level of the SUB.\nWe aim to host a scent-free space. Please refrain from wearing scented products in attendance of this event.\nUnfortunately\, we cannot provide ASL interpretation at this time. However\, we can provide written instructions and a copy of the facilitator’s script.\nOur facilitators are happy to provide image descriptions of collage materials and other visuals. Just ask us at the event!\nSturdy\, armless chairs will be available for those looking to sit during this event.\nAttendees are free to opt in and opt out of activities as suits their needs throughout the event\, including exiting and re-entering the event space.\n\nWe aim to make our events accessible to as many of our community members as possible.
