Kamloops– On January 30, 2010 students marched in solidarity with community members who oppose to the Creosote Gasification Plant.

The Thompson Rivers University Students' Union Council voted to endorse the anti-creosote rally coordinated by many community groups. Kyle Bowman, TRUSU President said “our members have expressed serious concerns about the potential pollution this plant will emit.”

This Saturday students had a strong presence throughout the crowd in order to have their voices heard. “Countless members have voiced their concerns about air pollution, water pollution, and the lack of testing for this type of project,” said Bowman.

TRUSU is the membership organisation of over 7000 students at TRU. It is also Local 15 of the Canadian Federation of Students, Canada’s largest national student organisation.
