Support Canadian Boat to Gaza: Gathering in Ottawa
July 03, 2011
At this event, we will symbolically "launch" a boat to show our solidarity with the people of Gaza and our support for the participants in the Freedom Flotilla II and the Canadian Boat, the Tahrir.
Several organizations will place a symbolic item on or in the boat to illustrate their support. (We suggest making a box with text or images indicating its contents and identifying the organization.) Individuals will be invited to put in messages. The idea is to represent the actual Canadian boat to Gaza. You may find ideas for what to place in the boat at http://www.tahrir.ca
We will also take this opportunity to collect donations in food items for the Ottawa food bank.
Everyone is welcome!
Time: 1:00 pm
Venue: Human Rights Monument (Elgin St./Lisgar St)
Location: Ottawa, ON
Website: http://www.tahrir.ca
Categories: International
