Rally for Justice in the Tar Sands Event Poster - Join us for a solidarity rally in Ottawa, hosted by Keepers of the Water and Environmental Defence, to support the Indigenous Nations impacted by the recent Imperial Oil toxic tailings disaster.

Imperial Oil has been given months to address the leak - not only have they failed to do so, but they did not even warn the Indigenous Nations downstream of the leak about the contamination.
