Turning the Tide: A Peoples' Paddle for the Salish Sea
July 25-28, 2014
A people-powered flotilla and community gathering
You are invited to join in Turning the Tide, a mass paddle through the Southern Gulf Islands on the weekend of July 25-28, from Swartz Bay to Pender Island (Port Browning Marina) to Saltspring Island (Ruckle Park) and back to Swartz Bay. A highlight will be community gatherings on Pender on Saturday July 26 and Saltspring on Sunday July 27, with music, food and cultural activities.
This event will demonstrate our love of the marine ecosystem and our opposition to new pipelines and increased tanker traffic on the precious coast. We see this campaign as part of a larger movement to protect the coastal environment and resource economy and to build a broad-based mass movement focused on building solutions beyond the petroleum-based economy.
The PARTICIPANT PACKAGE for Turning the Tide is attached. Registration is filling up fast (limited by the number of camping spaces on Pender and Saltspring), so register online at TurningtheTide.ca, complete the consent form in the package, and return it with the $30 fee (which covers camping and and some meals). If you do not have a boat, we can help connect you to people who do.
Together, we will turn the tide and protect the Salish Sea!
