About this Event
Join the Alouette Sisters, Holly Arntzen and the Left Coast Labour Choir in joyfully building community through solidarity and song.
IT'S WORLD WATER DAY! And like the waters merging, what better way to build unity and community than singing together and sharing stories, while raising legal funds to support Indigenous water protectors. EVERYONE IS INVITED to this family-friendly, uplifting event.
Through music and clear voices, the event will honour and support brave Indigenous Matriarchs who have dedicated their lives to protecting water and future generations, in defiance to pipelines crossing their traditional, unceded territories. The Supreme Court of Canada has convicted them for criminal contempt, which they are appealing, at considerable expense. We will hear directly from April Thomas, with a welcome from Audrey Siegl.
Funds raised will go directly to supporting litigation expenses of water protectors from two frontlines:
- Secwepemc territory: Billie Pierre and April Thomas are two of many who have expressed opposition to the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion (TMX)
- Wet’suset’en territory: Sleydo' Molly Wickham, Shaylynn Sampson and Corey Jayochee Jocko are three of many who have expressed opposition to the Coastal Gaslink Pipeline. (See Wet’suset’en Campaign in collaboration with RAVEN Trust
Help us lift the burden from the shoulders of our Indigenous brothers and sisters, who are taking legal action to assert their rights and hold Canada accountable to its climate commitments and future generations.
Saturday March 21. Doors @ 2:30 PM, Concert 3-5pm - See you there!
