DetailsAbout
On June 29, participate in the campaign to pressure the federal government to take action to improve the conditions facing many Aboriginal and First Nations communties.

Justice For Aboriginal Peoples:
-Equality of access to post secondary education
-Safe drinking water
-Protection for woman and children
-Implementationof the Kelowna Accord
-Ratification of theUnited Nations Draft Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People
-Fair land claim settlements
-Make poverty history


This will be a peaceful demonstration supporting the National Day of Action.

First Nations are calling for immediate action to improve their quality of life. This Day of Action is an opportunity for all Canadians to stand together in support of a better life for First Nations Citizens in Canada.

We call upon the government to work with First Nations so they can take more control of the programs, services and decisions that affect their lives and to honour and implement First Nations rights.

Join Canadians across the nation in peaceful demonstrations for First Nations rights. We will march from King's College Circle to Queens Park; demanding a better quality of life for all First Nations.

Once there, there will be an opportunity to enjoy music, food, dance and inspirational words as we come together to address issues, unified as Canadians.

Strong First Nations mean a stronger Canada-- An outcome of good for all Canadians.
