REVISED TIME FOR VICTORIA SPLASH BANNER DISPLAY - later has been decided as better! A previous notice went out also for 4 pm so anywhere in between 4 and 5 pm is fine. Banners will be there to hold. This coming Sunday, August 2, Symphony Splash will take place at the waterfront in Victoria in front of the Empress Hotel once again. Thousands of people will be walking around or sitting to watch the symphony and listen to the music. The Symphony starts playing at 7:30pm, other events are also taking place in the afternoon. Last year at the same time as the Splash took place Israel was bombing Gaza and killing thousands of Palestinian civilians indiscriminately. Our Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid held a big banner on the sidewalk in front of the Empress to protest the bombing and killing of innocent civilians. We were able to reach and inform many people.
This year we are planning to be... there once again with a NEW Banner to remind people that Israeli Apartheid and Occupation is still in full force and that human rights are constantly being abused. We are calling on us to come together once again to hold our banner and hand out leaflets to inform our community on this issue. We hope you can join us.
Meet at 5 pm Sunday, August 2 Belleville & Government St. (corner of the Empress in front of the Emily Carr's statue)
Downtown will be very busy so you may want to start a bit early to find parking if you're driving.
Let us know if you can join us.
