VICTORIA, BC — In a letter to supporters of the BC Greens, Canadian icon, science broadcaster and environmentalist David Suzuki endorsed leader Sonia Furstenau and the party for the Oct. 19 provincial election:

“All the science indicates we have created a terribly polluted world that is massively depleted of biodiversity. If the kind world we leave to our children and grandchildren is our highest concern, we must indicate that by voting Green.”

Furstenau thanked Suzuki, saying, “For decades, Canadians have looked to David Suzuki for knowledge, guidance and wisdom. He is a deeply trusted figure in our country, and I am deeply grateful for the trust he places in me and the BC Greens.”

Suzuki will be headlining a rally with Furstenau, Campaign Co-Chair Adam Olsen,  and local candidates on Thurs., Oct. 17 at the Edelweiss Club in Victoria. Local band OK Charlie will provide music.

The full text of Suzuki’s letter is available on the BC Green website.
