Calling all salmon heroes - please support Alexandra Morton and the Wild Salmon People at the Cohen Commission tomorrow, Wednesday & Thursday.

 

Join us outside the courtroom building (701 W Georgia) for peaceful protests every morning (9am to 9.30am) - bring your signs, banners, drums and creative minds!

Meet from 8.45am outside the Cohen Commission courtroom (701 W. Georgia - on corner of Granville) tomorrow morning and Wednesday and Thursday.  There's only three days of the salmon inquiry left.  It's time for one final push to GET those salmon farms OUT!

We need people to create live art, drummers, banners etc.  Please bring your signs, fish heads and bundles of energy.

Please spread the word to your networks in the same way salmon feedlots spread infectious diseases and pathogens. Help us stop fish farms - please change your Facebook profile to the "Stop Fish Farms" sign on my profile now.
