PRESS RELEASE

23 JULY 2006

YOUBOU SAWMILL LAWSUIT
The Youbou TimberLess Society (YTS) is pleased to announce that we are halfway to achieving our current fundraising objective of $20,000. The ‘James vs. Crown’ Legal Fund was initiated last month to help insure that the next phase of the long-running legal battle can be pursued by lawyer Joseph Arvay in BC Supreme Court.

A special mail-out appeal was posted last week by the Society to all class action members in the expectation that this will propel the legal fund over the top. Special mention needs go to the Pulp, Paper, and Woodworkers of Canada (Local 2). They have demonstrated magnanimous solidarity with the former Youbou workers and their community by voting from the floor to donate so generously.

The YTS has established a special savings account for ‘James vs. Crown’ and is soliciting financial support for the continuing legal struggle. Donations can be made through the YTS Website at www.savebcjobs.com Address inquiries to Ken James at (250) 746-8684
