PLEASE SHARE WIDELY !
Saugeen First Nation's organizing committee would like to invite you to a meeting with the Allies from Saugeen Shores and region to help organize the Unity Walk for Standing Rock.

It will be held at the Elder's Building: directions~from Southampton on Hwy 21, turn left on Kewageshig, go straight through the first stop sign, take the curve right, Health Centre is on your right, next building down is the Elder's Building. Park near the centre doors, and come in through the right set of the centre doors. When you enter, the gathering space is to your right (south) through the doors.

If the Southampton Presbyterian Church is ok with it, this would be the schedule. Allies will be welcome either at the walk from the Youth Centre or on the Southampton side, hopefully at the church hall.

Overview of schedule:
12pm Saugeen First Nation Youth Centre (Hwy 21 across from Amphitheatre): Pipe Ceremony
1pm Start walk to Southampton Bridge
1pm Meet at Southampton Presbyterian Church (on Hwy 21, by Lansdowne), walk to Bridge for 2
2pm Meet at Bridge (sidewalk, not on highway)
Prayer and song
Short Speeches
Scubby’s Point: Water Ceremony
Buses to James Mason Memorial Centre: 47 French Bay Rd.
5pm Speeches and Education
Food & refreshments
Please let me know if you're able to attend, and feel free to invite other people you think would want to help organize. The meeting should be about an hour.
Thanks,
Victoria

Saugeen is organizing a day of action for November 15th, 2016 to show our support to the Water Protectors at Standing Rock. We are in the planning stages and our show of support will be in the afternoon on the 15th (no time set yet). This will be a peaceful event to honour and support the Water Protectors on the front lines, who have remained peaceful throughout the last few months in spite of how they have been treated. It's very important that we follow their example of integrity, grace and commitment to peace.
We are also putting a call out to our young men (youth) to act as our Protectors (security) for the day of the event. We need our young Warriors to be involved in this important event. Please come out on Weds. Nov. 9th, so that we can help prepare you for this responsibility.
We are hoping for a great turn out from Saugeen Members as well as all other supporters in our area. This is definitely an issue that will affect all future generations. Water is Life!
As this is very short notice, please help spread the word!
