[evoz] Very important action re Bill C51

Day of Action Against Bill C-51. As part of a National Event – in Victoria: Meet at the globe on Fisgard and Government at noon on March 14th. Those who would like to make signs for the action can come at 11:30am and we will have supplies for them. The plan is to walk south on Government, East on Courtney, and then to the courthouse. We will have letters addressed to Trudeau that people can sign their names on ready as well. These letters fold up, and volunteers will have staplers to staple the sides of the paper, so that it can be tossed into the mailbox right away. From the courthouse, we will all end the action by marching to the mailbox (there should be one very very close by) and dropping in our mail.
