The Changes

It takes a village to stop a freeway, come help build the village!  Come to the South Fraser Protection Camp this Saturday from 9 am on for a work party to help construct a village that will stand in the way of the South Fraser Freeway. Details on transportation below.

Come join Alexandra Morton, Chief Bob Chamberlin, Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, Elizabeth May, Denise Savoie and hundreds of Wild Salmon People walking to Victoria on Sunday 1st May.

Start at 9am at Tsawout First Nation in Saanich and walk 22km to the BC Parliament for a rally (3pm-5pm).

THIS FRIDAY APRIL 22! Calling all residents, students, parents, elders, streamkeepers, treeplanters, guerilla gardeners, blockaders, rebels, climate defenders, farmers and freeway fighters! On a week of fresh cuts to local transit service, it's time to stand up for climate justice, and take direct action to stop freeway expansion!

The Cohen Commission opens on Monday Oct. 25th. Come to Vanier Park at 11:00 am, across the Burrard Bridge from downtown Vancouver, to join a lunch time rally on the same day. For too long this fishery has been mismanaged. Now is the time to correct this. Please join us in in letting the commission know that we want justice for Wild Salmon.

A report will be debated by City Council on July 20, 2010 that would make it easier to operate farmers markets and thereby allow more local farmers and producers to sell in Vancouver.

Metro Van is deciding - JULY 14 -- Incinerators or Zero Waste?
Synopsis of issue. Metro Van (and corporate interests) have looking into solving our over-abundance of waste problems with large incinerators. Their argument is to generate energy from burning garbage. The City of Vancouver (CoV) has been fighting the proposal and with good reason.
