Vancouver's Leader in Transition toward Strong, Resilient, Complete Communities
Burns Bog Pilgrimage
On April 25, 2010, hundreds of people participated in an interfaith pilgrimage to Burns Bog. The event was designed to promote an understanding of the sacredness of Burns Bog, which is under threat from highway development, specifically by the South Fraser Perimeter Road.
It was organized by the Pilgrimage to Burns Bog Committee, with participating groups including Anglican EcoJustice, Burns Bog Conservation Society, Environmental Ministry Team of Canadian Memorial United Church and Centre for Peace, Kairos, Vancouver Unitarians, and the Western Canada Wilderness Committee.

Ernie, I am sure you helped me cross a road somewhere. I was perhaps too focussed on not getting killed by car-nosaurs or filming this great crowd.

Great video! Were you at the event, Randy? I was volunteering as a road crossing guard :)
