World Health Day: Grassy Narrows River Run, Toronto (Rally/March), 12:00pm - 2:00pm
Meet at Grange Park (Beverley St. South of Dundas, behind AGO)
Flow to Queen's Park
Contact: riverrun2010@gmail.com
(From facebook event page) Together we will form a wild river that will flow to Queen’s park to deliver our demands on World Health Day. We invite Indigenous people to wear your regalia. Others are invited to wear blue, or dress as your favourite wild creature.
40 years ago our people were poisoned with mercury by a paper mill that contaminated our river upstream. Our people are demanding justice because we are still dealing with the ongoing health impacts of this avoidable disaster. We want to sound the alarm that this poison will affect everyone if we don’t stand together to protect our water.
For decades our GNAA grassroots people have been on the front lines of the movement to defend the earth, and to uphold Indigenous self-determination, culture, and spirituality. We have kicked out logging giant Abitibi for now, but there is still much work to be done. This is a great opportunity to show your support, and to join us in the fight to protect the water, air, land, creatures, and rights that we all depend on.
