Activism

St. Laurent is passionate about environmental conservation and activism. One issue he is currently very concerned with is the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines project, which would run a pipeline from Alberta to Kitimat, British Columbia. This proposed pipeline is strongly opposed by many BC residents, as it would put at risk some of the region's most pristine areas of nature, such as the Great Bear Rainforest, should there be an oil spill. St. Laurent spoke on the issue of sustainability at an Occupy Prince George rally in October 2011.
