EDMONTON: Come join the TAR SANDS HEALING WALK: August 14th!
The Keepers of the Athabasca are calling on allies and supporters to join their tar sands healing walk on Saturday, August 14th, 2010. The walk will be led by First Nations and Metis elders and community members but we are hoping that our allies will come out to walk beside them as supporters as well. The Keepers are asking supporters not to bring any signs or banners, as it is not a protest but a spiritual healing journey.
Please RSVP at this email: healingwalk2010@gmail.com.
