Wednesday, February 27

Healthy provincial parks create a healthy environment and a better future for all Manitobans. Unfortunately, industrial activity such as clearcut logging is permanently degrading our parks. In the coming months forestry licenses that were granted to corporations to clearcut log these cherished areas are expiring. The government is currently negotiating new licenses that could allow clearcut logging in our parks for the next 20 years. Overwhelmingly, Manitobans have stated that they want industrial activity out of our parks. Our beloved parks must be removed from all future forestry licenses.

Attend a Rally to Protect our Parks and our Future!

On Wednesday, February 27 from 12–2 p.m. on the Manitoba Legislative grounds, please gather with other conservationists to let the government know we want our parks protected and we don't want forestry licenses to include our provincial parks.

If you're free at lunch hour, we'd love to stand by your side to help get your public lands protected. Even if attending rallies isn't your thing, come down to listen to our guest speakers and learn about how they have had their lives impacted by the degrading industrial activity occurring in our parklands. Tell your co-workers, your fellow students, your family, the people you go camping with, your fishing buddies, your bird watching group, and the people who have a cottage next to you at the lake. If you are not an outdoors-type person, come down and hear how our parklands work to provide us all with clean air and water, the essentials of our life on earth. Everyone who is thinking about what kind of future we are building in Manitoba should make an effort to attend this rally. Bring a mug for free hot chocolate.

Now is the time to let your voice in the wilderness be heard!
