Editor: We wish to thank the community of Fort 91原创 for supporting the 鈥淭his Is Our Home鈥� rally on April 11.
As Earth Day this week reminds us, environmental concerns cross all political, cultural, and demographic boundaries. We are united in our need for healthy environmental systems.
The hundreds of people of all ages and backgrounds who participated in the march in Fort 91原创 two weeks ago demonstrated the type of unity we need if we are to stop bitumen pipelines, act on climate, and develop more sustainable communities.
Our thanks go to the number of businesses and groups that supported the event including the Kwantlen Nation, Seyem鈥� Qwantlen Business Group, PIPE UP Network, Kwantlen Student Association, Kwantlen Public Interest Research Group, 91原创 RCMP, Fort 91原创 Community Improvement Society, lelem鈥� Arts and Cultural Caf茅, Otter Co-op, East Van Graphics, Solidarity Notes Choir, and Veggie Bob鈥檚 Growcery Caf茅.
There are many more bridges to cross together as a community, before we will see a sustainable future for all of us. We hope that the bridge we crossed on April 11 will be the first of many.
Andhra Azevedo,
鈥楾his is Our Home鈥� Rally Committee,
