[Indigsol] Help protect sacred archaeological site in Gatineau

[IPSMO]

*Volunteers are needed to help make signs this Wednesday in support of
Roger Fleury and the sacred site.*

Earlier this year, the discovery of ancient artifacts on land near the
Chaudière Falls in Gatineau prompted First Nations activists to occupy the
site, which is slated for redevelopment. Given the findings, some people
want the city to put the brakes on the $43-million project. Algonquin
off-reserve chief Roger Fleury was among the occupiers arrested in
September for refusing to leave.

Please check this article for more background information.)

Volunteers are needed *Wednesday January 21st at Kitchissipi United Church
at 7pm* to make signs in support of Roger Fleury prior to the injunction.

On Friday January 30, these signs will be used in support of Roger Fleury
and six others as they struggle to protect this sacred land.

To join us and support, people are also meeting *Friday Jan 30th at 8:15am
at the ground floor of the Palais du Congress* (in Gatineau). At 9am, we
will proceed to Room 1 on the first floor to support Roger and six others
for the injunction.

We need as many people as possible to support Roger in his quest for
protecting ancient Heritage Archaeological site found this past summer.

Protect Archeological Site
Save Chaudière Falls + its Islands For the People!
