7000 Generation Walk
There is going to be a walk to protest the storage of nuclear waste and transportation in Saskatchewan. People are walking from Pinehouse to Regina, starting July 27th, 2011.
They are going through Green Lake, Big River, Shellbrook, Prince Albert (AUGUST 2), Saskatoon and all communities in between. At the Legislature in Regina they will present a petition demanding a province-wide ban against nuclear waste storage and transportation.
As they pass through each community, they will be collecting support, signatures for the petition and water. The water of each community will be added to a larger container and represents the fact that we are all connected by water.
The Nuclear Waste Management Organization has targeted Saskatchewan as a potential site for high-level nuclear waste. Using underhanded tactics and their money, this group is trying to coerce First Nations communities into agreeing to store high-level nuclear waste. Storage of this highly radioactive and dangerous substance threatens the safety of our water, the source of all life, and thus puts us all, regardless of location, at risk.
