>Here are the details from the Canadian Alliance for Social Justice and Family Values Association website at http://www.bcptl.org/events.htm: 
> 
>To : All British Columbians 
> 
>There has been a large public outcry regarding the federal governments attempts to redefine Marriage and to amend the hate crime law, by including in the criminal law, the undefined term "sexual orientation" through Bill C-250. This proposed bill would, in essence, silence any opposition to homosexual behavior. The federal Liberals, Progressive Conservatives, New Democrats and Bloc Quebecois Members of Parliament could easily pass legislation on these critical issues when Parliament re-opens in September. This is the last opportunity for the vast majority of Canadians to voice their concerns about these critical issues that will adversely affect our country for generations to come. 
> 
>The Canadian Alliance for Social Justice and Family Values Association will be holding a rally to oppose Bill C-250 and to uphold the present definition of Marriage as being between a man and a woman. We urge all pastors and organizations to help make this opportunity available to all concerned British Columbians through church bulletins and sharing of information. The details of the rally are as follows : 
> 
>Date: Saturday, August 16, 2003 
>Time: 10:00 am 12:30 pm 
>Location: Outside the Supreme Court of B.C. building at 800 Smithe Street, Vancouver 
> 
>If you expect a large turnout from your church, we would appreciate knowing in advance the approximate numbers so we can make appropriate arrangements. Please appoint at least one marshal for each 30 participants (for the purpose of crowd control), and fax the name and tel. # of the marshal (s) to us as soon as possible. 
> 
>We encourage all Canadians to make their concerns known to their MPs as well as to take this opportunity to physically attend the Rally to send a clear message to our politicians and judges that Canadians expect nothing less than democracy on such vital issues.
