On behalf of B.C's endangered old-growth forests, we'd like to say 'Thank You' to all of the local businesses who held an event to support us on Earth Day, April 22nd: North Park Bike Shop, Ananda Ayurveda, Cafe 932, and the Grassroots Eco-Salon. The AFA is supported by thousands of individual donors and small and independent businesses who allow us to continue our forest-saving campaigns. Thank you so much for your support!
A community rally will be held sometime in the near future by the Kwakiutl First Nation band in Port Hardy on northern Vancouver Island, asking the BC government and major forest companies to respect their land and their treaty. The rally will be in regards to Island Timberlands' logging of a 700 year old ancient redcedar forest near their reserve in late December without consulting the band.
Come out to support the Ancient Forest Alliance at these upcoming Earth Day/Week events, booths & fundraisers in Victoria and Vancouver, including the Earth Day Parade & Celebration, Creatively United for the Planet, Cafe 932, North Park Bike Shop, Grassroots Eco Salon's "Haircuts not Clearcuts" fundraiser, and the Granville Island Public Market.
