Earth Day/Anti-Pesticides Parade & Rally on Thursday!


Please join us and other concerned citizens for an Earth Day/Anti-pesticides rally in Richmond on

Thursday, April 23rd from 11:00-12:30.

CropLife Canada, a trade association that represents companies such as Monsanto, Syngenta, Dow & DuPont is meeting at the Richmond Executive Inn,7311 Westminster Hwy to talk about how to prevent a province-wide pesticide ban.

First they polluted our food with chemicals and GMO’s. Then they began buying up the world’s seed supply.

Now, they’re trying to prevent us from protecting our communities from pesticides.

Let’s show them that we care about our health, our community, and our planet more than the weeds in our lawn. Bring musical instruments, costumes, kids, strollers, stilts, dogs, and puppets and we’ll make this an amazing event!!

Bring your own signs too: "I love my family more than my lawn", "Health & Environment before Profits" or "Pesticides aren't safe for Bees or Me!"

Meet us at 11:00 at Tim Horton's on the East side of Richmond Center, and we'll walk over together.

See you then!
