You are invited to:

100,000 POETS FOR CHANGE, VANCOUVER
False Creek Clean Up and Poetry Reading
Saturday, Sept 24, 2011, 1 pm to 5 pm

1 pm: Meet near Science World to clean up False Creek East, a World
River's Day/Great Canadian Shoreline event hosted by Fraser
Riverkeeper (who will provide supplies and a speaker, environmental
lawyer and Riverkeeper Doug Chapman)

3:30 to 5 pm: 6 poets will read at the Carnegie Center, room 2 on the
third floor: Joanne Arnott, Steve Collis, Alex Leslie, Garry Thomas
Morse, Rita Wong and Elaine Woo, in conjunction with the Enpipeline, a
collaborative project of 47,000 km of poetry in resistance to
Enbridge's Northern Gateway Pipeline proposal, coordinated by
Christine Leclerc. http://enpipeline.org/

After that, collaborative workshops and an open-mic reading will take
place at the Carnegie. All are welcome.

This is organized in solidarity with events around the world on Sept
24 called for by both 100,000 Poets for Change and 350.org (a
grassroots response to the global climate crisis), and with the
support of Word on the Street Vancouver and Mary Woodbury of Moon
Willow Press.

We gather to work toward a healthy watershed and wild salmon forever,
which have been vital to Vancouver?s cultural and environmental
history for thousands of years. We encourage people to celebrate World
Rivers Day, Sept 25: http://commons.bcit.ca/worldriversday/ and
http://commons.bcit.ca/riversday/

Hope to see you there at some or all of this! All are welcome.
