Park Logging lectures at the U of W, this Wednesday, February 13

Thursday, January 31, 2008

The sordid history of corporate logging interests and our provincial parks creates an unbelievable tale, and this is the focus of lectures being hosted by the Wilderness Committee and the University of Winnipeg environmental student group, Eco-MAFIA. These talks are sure to be disturbing, but they will also empower all those who attend with the information and direction needed to preserve Manitoba's invaluable wild lands.

The first talk will be held at the University of Winnipeg on Wednesday, February 13th from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. in Room 1L11, with an expanded version of this talk being held that evening from 7:00 to 9 p.m. in Eckhardt-Gramatté Hall. Bring your friends, family, and colleagues. All are welcome and encouraged to attend. Admission is free.

12:30 to 1:30 p.m. in Room 1L11,
which is in Lockhart Building, the southwest corner of Ellice Avenue and Balmoral Street.

7:00 to 9 p.m. in Eckhardt-Gramatté Hall,
which is in the Centennial Building, just south of the Lockhart Building.
