The Council of Canadians are holding it's 24th annual meeting and conference in the port city this weekend.
National Spokesperson Maude Barlow tells CHSJ News, the provincial government needs to start iniaitives that help the local economy, and needs to stop developing resources just to export them elsewhere.
Barlow says citizens and the governments need to take care of the land, air and waters, because those resourches are not going to remain sustainable on it's own.
The conference is open to the public and is being held at the Trade and Convention Centre.
