URANIUM MINE IN FRONTENAC COUNTY
supporters on an important journey to Ottawa.
The Algonquin Alliance will be transporting two maiden Water-Carriers from the Shabot Obaadjiwan First Nation and Ardoch Algonquin First Nation, in a traditional birchbark canoe, escorted by two larger canoes. The paddlers will be ceremonially descending the headwaters of the Mississippi watershed to Parliament Hill. The water and the message of their demand for a moratorium on uranium mining will be poured out on the steps of the Parliament Buildings to show how the waters of the Mississippi are close at hand to Ottawa. A proclamation demanding a Moratorium on Uranium Mining will be delivered to the Government of Canada.
