Hear ye, hear ye...



A couple of upcoming events in and around Windsor dealing with environmental and social issues. Please note, these are not organized by SDW and, as such, we cannot guarantee that the message of SDW will be supported by these events. However, we do feel that free and open discussions, particularly where opposition and contention has existed in the past, is a great start to building change.

The CAW Windsor Regional Environment Council and the Canadian Detroit RiverKeeper have partnered with the Amadiyya Muslim Students Association to host Saving the Environment- What Faith Tells Us. This Interfaith symposium will feature speakers from Muslim, Christian, Hindu and the Jewish faiths. It is being held at the University of Windsor, Vanier Hall at 6 PM on Thursday, November 8th. Please join us to hear a faith-based perspective on the challenges facing humankind and our planet.


Also from the Canadian Detroit RiverKeepers...


Robert Kennedy Jr. will be speaking at Wayne State University November 2nd from 6-8pm. The RiverKeepers have organized a bus which, as of this email, has about 20 open seats. If you would like to get on-board please contact Kelly St. Pierre by clicking on her name.


The speaking event is free and open (I'm not 100% sure about the bus). If you want to go and hear Robert Kennedy Jr speak, you must pre-register at focis.wayne.edu
