On Wednesday, September 17th, the Sunshine Coast Conservation Association and RhizomeUp!Media will host a community screening of Trouble in the Headwaters at Roberts Creek Hall.

This hard-hitting, 25-minute documentary by filmmaker Daniel J. Pierce examines the disastrous 2018 flood in Grand Forks, BC, and the hydrological connection to clear-cut logging in the Kettle River Watershed. The film features the research of Dr. Younes Alila, professor of forest hydrology at the UBC Faculty of Forestry, whose decades of peer-reviewed research have shown how government and industry have consistently underestimated the flood risks caused by clear-cut logging.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with Pierce, Alila, and Suzanne Senger, Executive Director of the Sunshine Coast Conservation Association.
