Description

Environmentalists, unionists and others demonstrate at the Peace Arch to protest U.S. plans to bring oil supertankers down the BC coast in conjunction with construction of the TransAlaskan pipeline. The opposition to the plan resulted the following year in the federal government's informal moratorium on tanker traffic on the coast. Among rally organizing groups was SPEC, then known as the Scientific Pollution and Environmental Society.
