Thanks to Island Sarah, our favourite environmental activist, for telling us about The Pickering Green Festival.
The Festival is drumming up awareness of the beautiful and important green spaces surrounding the heinous suburban sprawl in Durham Region. Get out of The Hive and hang out with your Great Wild Mother in places like Greenwood, The Heber Down Conservation Area, and the Lynde Shores Marsh.
Island Sarah was inspired to her lifelong mission of Fighting The Power by the farmers who waged the original battle against the Pickering airport. At the Pickering Festival, the film made to document this struggle, The Last Stand, will be shown. Why is this relevant now? Well, the damned airport is always looming, and another generation of tenant farmers, conservationists and Thinking Citizens are fighting the good fight right now.
Get your facts and the corporate bullshit from: The Greater Toronto Airport Authority, and Transport Canada - Airport Zoning Regulations here.
