Known by the Gwich'in as the sacred place where life begins, the Arctic Refuge is at risk from oil and gas development. If drilling goes ahead, it would threate...n the health of the Porcupine caribou herd, and the way of life of the Gwich'in people. But we can help stop it! Last week, RBC joined banks from around the world when they committed to never financing drilling in the Arctic Refuge. Will you join us, in asking the rest of Canada's banks to join them? Sign the letter today! #StandWithTheGwichin #ProtectTheArctic
