River Run and bell ringing in support of Grassy Narrows First Nation,

This United Church endorsed action supports Grassy Narrows First Nation in northern Ontario, whose river is contaminated with mercury from off-reserve industrial operations.  Their struggle for justice, health, and a return to clean water has gone on for decades.  Grassy Narrows has called on the national community to help raise the profile of this struggle, and the United Church is asking us all to join in.  This includes ringing our church bells or creative alternatives (and being clear about why). That’s when a community march is predicted to arrive at the Ontario provincial seat of government.  (Freshwater is a provincial jurisdiction and successive Ontario governments have not taken action on this desperate situation and injustice.)
