Rally For Kyoto This Sunday

I received this from the Ontario Clean Air Alliance this morning and intend on being there with my camera. If you can make it, please come out.

There will be a Toronto Rally for Kyoto on Sunday, March 11th at 12 noon at Nathan Phillips Square in support of Canada fulfilling its obligations under the Kyoto Protocol to cut greenhouse gases. The rally is organized by Canadians for Kyoto, and is sponsored by a wide variety of groups including the World Wildlife Fund, the Ontario Federation of Labour, and Educators for Peace and Justice. Similar rallies are also planned for London, Halifax, Calgary, Edmonton and Lethbridge on the same day.

Canadians for Kyoto urge everyone to come out with friends and family to show their concern about climate change and to call for Canada to fulfill its international obligations and take positive action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Canadians for Kyoto website is canadiansforkyoto.com.

People are encouraged to make their own signs for the Rally. If anyone would like to volunteer to assist with organizing and publicizing the rally they should go to canadiansforkyoto.com/volunteers.html. This page is also where you can find posters for the Rally.

Please pass this message on to your friends.

Thank you.
