*Protecting our Sacred Waters Event

There are two parts to the “Protecting our Sacred Waters” event. The first is a day long symposium for
young adults (16-22 yrs.) The second is an evening event, open to everyone. Both will feature respectful
conversations about natural water systems -- watersheds, groundwater, rivers, wetlands and oceans -- the
effects of oil pipelines and tankers, and how these are intertwined with social justice, our eco-systems and
our economy.

To assure accessibility, registration for both events is by donation. Everyone is welcome, and contributions
to support the “Sacred Waters” project will be gratefully received.
