Walk for the people.

On Monday the 13th Elizabeth Penashue is starting off on a walk of protest against the recent agreement in principle between the Province and the Innu Nation which could lead to further dames on the [Mista Shipu] Churchill River.
The walk will start in Happy valley Goose Bay and end at Twin Falls…….or is it Muskrat Falls…..whatever.

Update: Actually it is the Gull Island Rapids Elizabeth will be walking to, I was not sure of the destination, AN AC corrected me, thanks.

In solidarity, or in support, or out of respect, Fan and others are organizing a walk here in Nain, to be held Monday also
It will be a far shorter walk than Elizabeth’s, just around town and up the hill a bit. Any one interested keep your ears open for the time.

Déjà Vu All over again.

Hydro is announcing a power outage from 3 to 5 PM today in Nain.
The purpose of the outage is to hook up the mobile generators to the grid. Starting to sound like Peter and the wolf or sumin.

Actually, I believe it's the Gull Island Rapids that she's walking to this time. Further than Muskrat Falls, not quite so far as Twin Falls! Good luck with your walk! -AC

Brave lady, walking so far in protest. I hope she gathers lots of supporters aloong the way.
And if I could, I would join Fran on her trek around town.
