Algonquin Prayer and Discussion for The Forest in the South March Highlands –
A Non-Denominational Celebration and Perspective on our Relation to Ecology
Date: August 24th, 2010
Time: 19:00 – Ceremony at 19:30, must arrive early!
Location: Beaver Pond in Kanata, Corner of Walden & Kimmins Ct
From the Agenda with Steve Paikin
If you're concerned about the South March Highlands, don't miss the critical City of Ottawa public meeting this Thursday.
Urbandale is threatening to commence clear-cutting the forest to the north of the beaverpond on July 19--next Monday. We believe this is illegal as Urbandale has not met several conditions required by the city before the cutting can commence. We need the City to hear us, loud and clear.
The City will be there. Urbandale will be there. Will you?
Where and when:
Thursday July 15, 2010 at 7 pm
Hall A of the John G. Mlacak Centre
2500 Campeau Drive
