To All

The Walk for Economic Justice in Support of the Ardoch and Shabot First
Nations has now expanded. Tonight a request was brought from the chiefs of
Ardoch and Shabot to ask the African organizers of the walk if they could
shift the dates of the walk. I was in planning with them all day and have
just confirmed that they are ok with the change in the dates. What the
request was is that the walkers would walk from Toronto to Peterborough and
then to the site of the blockade. Then they would join members of the Ardoch
and Shabot First Nations on a seven day canoe trip that would arrive at
Victoria Island on September 27. Meanwhile communities in Perth, Carleton
Place Ottawa and elsewhere could mobilize their own walks to arrive at
Victoria Island the same time as the canoes. We would then portage the
canoes up to Parliament Hill (even thought it won't be sitting this image
will be very effective).

On the evening of September 27 there will be an event at either Victoria
Island or the Odawa Native Frienship Centre. On September 28 there will be
an all day forum

  *Power to Choose: An Ottawa Forum on Ontario's Energy Future* [image: The

for the Justice for Mohamed Harkat Committee.*

There will be an organizing meeting tomorrow at Hintonburg Community Centre,
Wellington Room, ground floor
1064 Wellington Street at
7:00 pm for anybody that would like to be part of organizing
*We are looking for a place in Ottawa that could be used for storage for
collecting goods to be taken up to the Ardoch site.*
*If anybody has any suggestions please let me know.*

*Also if anybody is organizing or knows of any events happening between now
and September 27 in Toronto, Peterbrough, Perth, Carleton Place, Montreal,
Ottawa and communities in between please email tehm to me so I can make a
complete Calendar of Events so that we can mobilize as many communities as
possible.*

In solidarity
