Hi Louisette, <br>
<br>
I appreciate your situation and totally support your activism. Our
local chapter of CoC, being your closest chapter , would like to
encourage you to attend the parallel event in Ottawa at the same
time as the Washington event, regarding the Keystone pipeline
decision. Many of the Canadian CoC groups will be there plus others
. It is being organized now as a safer way for us to make our voices
heard, than crossing the border. <br>
<br>
I think it would be great for GREN to be in Ottawa along with our
chapter reps and other groups. You could take a GREN banner and
bring attention to our watershed issues while I will be carrying the
CoC banner. <br>
<br>
And folks, Peter Victor is speaking at the GRCA Water Forum this
year. He spoke at Our Environmental Future last November on
Degrowth. It should be good! <br>
<br>
Norah <br>
