The ongoing battle between the Cheam band, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, and ultimately the Canadian State is continuing May 25th at 9:30 am in the Chilliwack Court House. Denise Douglas will be defending the remaining six defendents and we are calling on all supporters to mobilize and show the courts that the people of Cheam are not alone in their struggle. Transport and billeting from Vancouver to Chilliwack/Cheam will be arranged. If enough people are interested we will be renting a bus to transport everyone.
The trial has been slated for three days. Supportors are encouraged to come to any or all the dates. Billeting will be provided at the Cheam Community Hall. Come out and meet the community and support the fishers of Cheam!
Please email supportcheam@gmail.com if you wish to guarantee a ride out to the courts May 25th, 2010. Go to www.supportcheam.wordpress.com for more info.
