Communities all over the province are coming together to show solidarity in support of The United for Old Growth Declaration. It’s the broadest grouping ever to sign on together in solidarity with First Nations to insist that the logging of old-growth forests stop.
To educate and inspire our community about the importance of the rally and walk, the SSI Public Library, Transition Salt Spring, and Nature Salt Spring will host a film screening of “Rematriation” with a live question and answer with Briony Penn.
“Rematriation” was filmed during the heart of Ada’itsx/Fairy Creek Blockade. The film follows concerned First Nation Land defenders and B.C. The film explores scientific, cultural, economic and sociopolitical perspectives as citizens fight to protect the last big trees in British Columbia from being felled.
Briony Penn is a highly respected educator, consultant, artist, and author, well-known on Salt Spring and throughout B.C. for her work in biodiversity and climate change. She’ll respond to questions about the film and share information about “The Mother Tree Network,” her current collaboration with Suzanne Simard, and others.
