Hello all

Regardless of signatures or lack thereof on the critical incident protocol - there is some action already afoot and I sincerely hope and trust that all will participate.

A group of individuals - motivated by by the values of inclusion, peace, diversity and non violence - is planning to peacefully assemble at 12 noon on Thursday July 9th at the Sid Williams Theatre plaza in Courtenay.

We are assembling to say NO to violence and all hate crime in our community.

We are putting out a call for our community to take a stand for peace, kindness, civility and to express that it is unacceptable for this to occur in our community.

Our extensive email, facebook and phone lists should make this achievable to organize.
