We've modified our event for the reason to be in solidarity with all Palestinian groups of MetroVancouver area who are holding a picket and demonstration on Saturday, 27th Nov at 2.00 pm at (MEC) Mountain Equipment Coop, 130 W. Broadway, Vancouver. The MEC is selling products of an Israeli company whose products are 'field tested' and used by Israeli Military and are also being sold to US marines and UK army. We encorage people to attend that picket and show solidarity there with people of Palestine.
