Landfill Legacy Rally!
Powell River residents gathered Saturday, May 26th at James Thomson School in Wildwood for a rally and parade sponsored by Powell River Legacy. The event gave voice to a huge groundswell of support to defeat Catalyst Paper's application for a landfill expansion.
The rally featured local speakers as well as Green Party candidate Silvaine Zimmerman, musician John Tyler and the Powell River Raging Grannies. The event was capped by a bagpiper-led parade of over 350 people through the streets of Wildwood. The march ended at the landfill gates where community representatives delivered collected petitions to Catalyst personnel.
