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.
