Victoria Day of Action Against Bill C-51

Join the event on Facebook

Bill C-51 is coming up for its third and final vote in the House of Commons when Parliament resumes on April 20th.

We're having another Canada-wide Day of Action on April 18th, with the Victoria event beginning in Millie's Lane, right next to Odeon Alley, on Yates St. (between Douglas and Blanshard). We will meet here at Noon and from there we will be going to Centennial Square where we will have a Block (C-51) Party! Join us for speakers, updates and rallying!

Last month saw a beautiful day of solidarity across the entire country. Victoria's turnout was well over 2000 people - a massive accomplishment for a city its size.

In the wake of the Day of Action, amendments started being made, as people hit the streets and...

Hey all you eco-warriors,

Last Wednesday, a freighter leaked toxic fuel into a bay near Adbusters HQ. Already the impact has been devastating to our shorelines, wildlife and community — despite it having been a relatively small spill.

Details: Published on Tuesday, 14 April 2015 06:34; Written by editor

Dear CASC supporters, Our rights to free speech & assembly are threatened by this Bill. Our solidarity action could well be interpreted or be considered as “a threat to national security”. Opposition to Bill C51 is building. Following the first successful rally to STOP BILL C51, the same group have organized another rally for this weekend. Please attend if you possibly can! SATURDAY, April 18th at noon. Meet in Millie's Lane (it is Odeon Alley on Yates between Blanchard and Douglas). From there we will walk to Centennial Square, but we will stop on Douglas in front of the Bay Centre and do a sit-in. We will have sidewalk chalk and other things because we're making a "Block" C-51 Party out of the event. After some playing hopscotch or Harper Says instead of Simon Says, etc., we will move on to Centennial Square where we'll have speakers, a band, petitions...Here is a link...
