On Monday afternoon, the good folk of Chilliwack will gather at their new Courthouse Square, a venue that was opened two years by their representative in the BC Parliament, Environment Minister Barry Penner. They will be meeting there to rally against Metro's proposed garbage incinerators.
"All 3 of Chilliwack's Mayoral hopefuls will attend (with equal speaking time)," said organizer Norm Smith, "in a non-partisan show of unity against Vancouver's incinerators."
Organizers of the rally say that "Every candidate in Chilliwack is opposed to the incinerator plan and all seem well educated regarding the environmental and health risks involved."
"This will be a day for all Fraser Valley residents to put aside their differences and stand together for an essential goal that we all share."
The rally gets going at 3:30 and ends at 5:00. If you go, dress warmly!
