Voices from the Ancestral Forest Frontlines

This gathering is in honour of the 1 year milestone of the Ada’itsx/ Fairy Creek blockades, began one year ago on the night of August 9th on the ridge into the headwaters of the unlogged Fairy creek watershed, where road crews were prevented from breaching the Ridge the next day.

365 days and 500+ arrests later and through the involvement and sacrifices of thousands of conscientous protectors and a massive groundswell of public support, Ada’itsx remains whole!
It is time to celebrate this 1 year of uninterrupted land-based resistance to the juggernaut of industrial liquidation of the last stands of ancient temperate rainforest and unite with forest defenders across so-called BC to demand an end to old-growth logging once and for all, with a publically-funded just transition strategy for workers and communities!

Join us for a day of ceremony, speakers, performances, photo installations, info tables, film screenings, and testimony from the frontlines.

Where: Provincial Legislature, Victoria, B.C on Lekwungen territory with gratitude for the blessing of living and working for a healed world on this beautiful land.

When: August 9th, 2021, 3 pm- 10:30 pm (start with March from Blanshard St. courthouse at 2 pm)

Be inspired by an action rooted in unity and solidarity with frontline land defenders, forest protectors, the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs and First Nations and Indigenous community members asserting Title and rights to defend sovereign homelands. The climate and environmental scourge of old-growth logging continues on unceded territories without consent.
The event begins at 2 pm with a street procession from the Victoria courthouse on Blanshard street as we proceed to the Legislature for 3 pm.
