The First Nations Walk to Stop the Quarry has been remarkable.
 
First day: a crowd of 200 at Queen's Park on  Earth Day, Friday April 22
 
Second day: LONG hot day across the 401,  through Brampton and ending north of 
Brampton at Victoria with the core group of  walkers-35 KILOMETRES THAT DAY.
 
Third day-Easter Sunday:  Press and support  picks up, the chicken mascot 
arrives, and arriving in Orangeville they have a  big group.  They are 
overwhelmed by food and offers of money for  gas.
 
Fourth day: About 40 walkers when they arrive in  Shelburne.  News coverage on 
almost every major station.  Easter  Dinner enjoyed with overnight 
accommodations at UniCamp.
 
FIFTH AND FINAL DAY  tomorrow:
The organizers state they will be leaving the  intersection of County Road 124 
and 89 at Shelburne (No Frills intersection) at  8:30 am
They plan to arrive at Marian and Jim Blacks farm  about 4 km north of Hornings 
Mills by 1-2 pm
Speeches, media, etc. to follow
Potluck at 4
Dale Goldhawk stated on his  show that he would be there.
 
Please join for the last leg of the  walk or at the very least, come to the 
Black farm with a dish for the potluck  and help us thank the walkers for their 
extraordinary effort in successfully  raising the profile of this issue
