November 17, 2012

What is Line 9?
Enbridge's Line 9 pipeline could be pumping corrosive and toxic tar sands across Ontario soon. Line 9 cuts through Toronto, north of Finch. Tar sands in Line 9 would menace natural environments, violate indigenous land rights, and threaten our communities across the province. And exploitation of Canada’s tar sands escalates climate change, posing a deadly threat to all the world's peoples.
Part of the OPIRG Rebuilding Bridges conference a joint effort by both OPIRG York and OPIRG Toronto rebuildingbridgesto.wordpress.com
In conjunction with OPIRG Rebuilding Bridges, United Church Trinity-St.Paul, Common Frontiers, Latin American Caribbean Solidarity Network, Center for Social Justice, Environmental Justice Toronto, Toronto Bolivia Solidarity, Council of Canadians Toronto, and others.
Time: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM
