Tar Sands 101

Ten characters (listed below) will engage in an 'environmental assessment' process with the Government of Alberta/Canada (roles played by facilitators). The assessment is for a proposed (fictional in the game, but all too real) Syncrude project in the Tar Sands.  The aim of the role playing game is to have folks understand the complex social perspectives surrounding tar sands in order to catalyze a more conscious tar sands movement.
Roles: urban activist; syncrude executive; councilor of affected community; grassroots community activist; mayor of Fort McMurray; migrant labourer; Gord Nixon - CEO of RBC; RBC shareholder; farmer activist; environmental activist.
