We're not the only ones asking this question. The events that unfolded at the UN Security Council begs the same question. The Africa Canada Accountability Coalition is bringing you a chance to look at options and formulate ideas on Canada's relationship to the continent of Africa, and specifically, the Great Lakes Region of Africa.

BCCIC takes on VPS

We were at the Vancouver People's Summit on Sunday - it was so much fun (as you can see from the photos and forthcoming videos) and a great way to promote the upcoming September 18, 2010 Make Noise for the Millennium Development Goals Campaign.

The People's Summit urges leaders to act

Reprinted from Vancouver Observer, June 15, 2010

Starting at noon on June 20th, the blocks on Main Street between 30th and 33rd will be closed off to traffic and the Vancouver Peoples’ Summit will begin. The event, in conjunction with the popular Car Free Day, will have citizens gather together and participate in an array of festivities, all with the aim to show that Canadians do care about their government’s international involvement, while of course having a bit of fun along the way.
