[Indigsol] Save Beaver Pond Forest Rally

[Indigenous Peoples' Solidarity Movement -Ottawa]

FYI.

There is a rally to stop the clear cutting/blasting of Beaver Pond forest
out in Kanata on Saturday.  The devastation could begin next week. 
William Commanda has identified that the area is unique and sacred to the
aboriginal peoples of this area and he has requested that a proper
archaeological survey of the area be done.  The City and the Province are
refusing to stop this from going ahead.

Maybe I'll see you there.  Please spread the word.


Sat Jan 8, 1:00pm
Save Beaver Pond Forest Rally

GOAL
This is a rally to invite Urbandale/KNL to halt all cutting and blasting
of the Beaver Pond Forest at least until spring. This is for ecological,
archaeological, cultural and humane reasons. The City could halt
development based on new evidence that the archaeological assessment needs
to be redone. But the City refuses to put its foot down. The City... isn’t
taking responsibility. The province isn’t taking responsibility. The NCC
isn’t taking responsibility. So we are going directly to the company that
owns the land. We need to convince them it is better for everyone that
they spare the most ecologically sensitive part of Ottawa. We need to
prove it is more profitable to do the right thing.

PLAN
- Assemble in All Saints Parking lot at 1pm (5115 Kanata Avenue)
- Bring your own signs, we also have dozens made, including some which
will be used in a subsequent Activist Art show
- March to Urbandale Sales Office (503 Remnor Avenue, half block away) -
Be loud (bring instruments & noisemakers!)
- Main Message to Urbandale: Do the Right Thing or Lose our Business
