D8 Kyoto NOW rally/EcoFair Saturday December 08 11:30am to 2.00pm
Stand up Vancouverites! As much as any nation, Canada is vulnerable to the ecological, social and economic effects of climate change, particularly in regards to our climate-dependent industries such as forestry, fishery, agriculture and tourism. On December 8th, when international representatives gather in Bali to negotiate Kyoto, join other concerned folks to demand that Canada show leadership in this matter. In 32 cities across Canada people will be demonstrating as part of a worldwide day of action. Vancouver’s rally is at the Vancouver Public Library.
Organized by: Canadians for Kyoto in partnership with Western Canada Wilderness Committee, Greenpeace and Canadian Youth Climate Coalition
