7:00 PM to 9:30 PM

The Making Waves opening public forum will feature keynote speakers Maude Barlow, Chairperson, The Council of Canadians; Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, President of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs; Linda McQuaig, journalist and author; and Bill McKibben, environmentalist and founder of 350.org, with a welcome from Snuneymuxw Elder and Chief Douglas White.

At a time of relentless attacks on democracy in Canada a broad civil society movement is needed more than ever to counter this government of the 1%. Making Waves will bring together environmental, health, youth, Indigenous and labour groups to fight back against Harper�s austerity agenda and mining and pipeline projects that threaten the environment.
