Fish & Game have joined forces with a number of groups to organise a gathering in Cathedral Square to express our concerns on the way water is being managed in Canterbury. Refer below for details of the event. Helpers are needed to distribute 250,000 flyers to advertise the event to Canterbury households. The flyers can be picked up between 8:30am and 5pm on Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th of May at 311 Montreal Street (opposite the Christchurch Art Gallery)

Gathering to advocate for better water management

Sunday June 13th at 3pm (Cathedral Square)

IS IT RIGHT?

• Is it right that we should lose our rivers and streams?
• Is it right that we should lose our clean drinking water?
• Is it right that we should lose our vote on these issues?

The loss of our elected environment council, the loss of conservation orders and our right to argue for or against them, is a loss for democracy. We invite you to join us in Cathedral Square to build a cairn as a memorial to our loss. There will be brief addresses by the following people:

• Graham Wardrop and Liz Braggins – Musicians
• Brian Turner – Poet laureate 2003-5
• Lydia Bradey – First women to climb Mt. Everest without oxygen
• Brian Deans – Fifth generation farmer
• Robin Judkins – Coast to Coast organiser
• Morgan Waru – Student
• The right reverend Victoria Mathews – Bishop of Canterbury
• Ariana Tikao – Musician

In case of rain, the Cathedral will be open to us
