The Council of Canadians Windsor-Essex chapter along with Windsor on Watch is conducting a Leap Manifesto survey today.
As noted on the City of Windsor’s website, “Join us to celebrate Earth Day 2017 on Sunday, April 23 from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. at Malden Park. This event is free for the public. There will be over 40 environmental exhibits; wildflower planting; arts and crafts; a nature scavenger hunt; and many more environmental activities!”
As can be seen in the photos above, they have posted each of the Leap Manifesto’s 15 demands on a display board. They are now asking people which three demands they most strongly support.
The 15 demands outlined in the Leap Manifesto can be read here.
The Council of Canadians formally endorsed all these demands when the manifesto was launched in September 2015. At that time, Council of Canadians chairperson Maude Barlow commented, “At the grassroots level we have in our organization local activist chapters and they are hungry for this kind of vision and direction.”
The chapter is also distributing “Don’t Frack Our Water” and “Boycott Nestle” buttons and stickers, along with membership brochures.
