An update on the 2007 People's Voice fund drive will appear in our next issue - our schedule has been too hectic in late June to pull together a full report!
As we go to press, readers across Canada are getting ready to take part in the National Day of Action called on June 29 by the Assembly of First Nations. PV supporters have been encouraging a wide range of people’s movements to turn out for NDOA events, and we’ll be there with our banners, papers and leaflets. Watch for reports on this important occasion in our next issue.
Our August 1-31 paper will also provide details on the “welcoming” demonstrations to greet George W. Bush and Felipe Calderon when they get together with Stephen Harper on August 20-21 in Montebello to promote the “Fortress North America” big business agenda.
This month, we hope to see a big turnout of British Columbia readers at our annual PV Walk-A-Thon, Sunday, July 8, at Bear Creek Park in Surrey. Gather at the picnic area near the 140th Street entrance parking lot (just south of 88th Avenue) for the start of the walk at 11 am, followed by a fabulous international potluck lunch at noon, and a cultural program. You can get there by transit from the Surrey Central Skytrain Station, by taking the #325 bus which leaves at 25 minutes past each hour. The Walk-A-Thon is organized by the Lower Fraser Club CPC. For details, call Krishna (604-940-0420) or Harjit (604-543-7179).
Southern Ontario readers are invited to the East Toronto Club’s “jazz and BBQ” party on Sunday, July 28. It all happens from 2 until 8 pm at the home of PV Editorial Board member Liz Rowley, 526 Main Street, just a short bus ride from the Main Street subway stop. For more information, call 416-469-2446.
Finally, here’s another reminder about our “People’s Voice Shopping Bag” special Fund Drive promotion. As the ad on this page shows, we have several items to offer for your contributions, ranging from music to clothing to great reading.
