* PLEASE SHARE WIDELY *


Please join us this Tuesday to gather together for a dinner and opportunity
to hear from Barriere Lake community members about their new efforts to
prevent mining in their territory, and how you can support these efforts.

In late October, the Algonquins of Barriere Lake set up a camp to defend
their territory from new threats of the various companies that have mining
claims there. The Quebec government has recently begun unilaterally lifting
multi-year moratoriums on mining in the area, despite this being against
the Trilateral and Bilateral Agreements of the 1990s.

land defenders camp has just been started within the last two weeks, and
this fundraising dinner is timed to coincide with the “Joining Our Fires:
Women for the Protection of Lands and Waters” rally happening directly
