Solidarity march in Toronto with Wet’suwet’en

Please pray for a restorative response on the part of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), Coastal Gaslink, the British Columbian and the Canadian Federal government to the eviction of Coastal Gaslink by the Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs, who expelled Coastal Gaslink from their territory in north-central British Columbia. Pray for a just peace to arise from the standoff.

Tensions are rising. Last year, the RCMP raided a Wet’suwet’en encampment of Indigenous people who were trying to protect their lands and waters from unwanted resource development.

British Columbia passed legislation saying it would abide by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples this past November (Bill 41). The U.N. Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination recently called on Canada to “immediately halt construction of the Coastal GasLink pipeline in the traditional and unceded lands and territories of the Wet’suwet’en people, until they grant their free, prior and informed consent” (December 13, 2019).

Will you host a dinner party for CPT?

CPT really needs your support in raising $10k in September. Unfortunately, we are behind our financial targets and need your help. We want to dedicate the month of September to bringing people together around the dinner table. You can choose the date, who you invite and what you cook (though our teams have some great recipes prepared!) We’d love to hear if you’d be interested. 

There’s no commitment needed at this stage.
