I can only hope/prey she gets a good turnout for this event. Could be tough for some to make it on a Monday.
If Victoria pulled 5000 or so for her last gig at the Legislature, Vancouver could pull 20 to 50/K.
Lets' hope so! This thing has to stay in Campbell & Harper's face.

Hello All
This is a call to action for Monday October 25th, Vanier Park, Vancouver.
I have very strong reasons for believing disease in salmon feedlots now
determines whether wild salmon and steelhead survive. It is essential the
sockeye inquiry investigates this thoroughly.
On the 19th of October I am going through Hells Gate (see attached photo)
and then paddling with an amazing group of Wild Salmon People including
chiefs, MPs, MLAs, the mayor of Vancouver and people like you. We are
camping by the river for five days. We are doing this to show you how
essential wild salmon are. As the salmon go we go. This is about our
communities, democracy, our future.
I will keep you informed of our progress at:

Government and the salmon feedlot industry are hoping you never learn the
truth. They have kept disease records secret for 18 years, even as a deadly
fish virus has followed this industry everywhere in the world. Now DFO
research suggests a new virus has been killing the Fraser sockeye that are
passing through salmon feedlot areas.
I am asking every one of you who want wild salmon to make the effort to meet
us in Vancouver at *Vanier Park at 10 am on the 25th of October* when we
land in the canoes. If you want wild salmon, walk with us to the opening of
the Cohen Inquiry. We are doing this to support Justice Cohen in his
extremely difficult task. Our governments; federal, provincial and municipal
approved salmon feedlots on our most important wild salmon and steelhead
migration routes and they are not going to easily admit they made a big
mistake.
I realize this is a Monday and inconvenient, but it is the day justice for
wild salmon could begin. Make the time for salmon, take a 2 hour lunch,
donate to help us with logistics, but most important BE THERE for yourself
and for your children. This is the moment when we can turn this around. If
Cohen does not insist on full disclosure from these Norwegian companies it
will only be because not enough of us showed up.
You can find all the logistics at salmonaresacred.org
<http://www.salmonaresacred.org>
You can print the attached flyer and pass it around.
Make signs with the names of your rivers, your message to government, why
you care about wild salmon.
I am doing this simply to protect our home.
