ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENCE, 350.ORG
Toronto | Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat – Across Canada, people will come together for a National Day of Action on November 12, calling on MPs to reject Bill C-39, the “Bulldoze Nature Bill”, and stand up for the protections that matter to our communities. Groups will be gathering to deliver a clear message: our communities, climate and environment must come before the interests of major industrial projects.
The rallies are being organized by environmental, labour and Indigenous groups and representatives.
