March 16, 2021 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

As hunger strike enters 9th day, people rally for a
moratorium on clearcutting

WHAT: Rally for a temporary moratorium on clear cutting, in support of
hunger strike
WHEN: Tuesday, March 16, 12noon
WHERE: Province House, 1726 Hollis Street, Kjipuktuk/Halifax
WHY: Critical Habitats for Endangered Species are being destroyed while
necessary reforms are delayed

As Jacob Fillmore enters his 9th day of hunger strike on the steps of
Province House, people are rallying to support his demand of an
immediate temporary moratorium on clearcutting on crown lands in Nova
Scotia. This moratorium would stop the destruction of critical habitat
until reforms intended to protect these areas could be fully
implemented.
