SUMMARY:[:en]Press conference on nuclear waste contaminating Indigenous homelands[:]
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth May\, Member of Parliament for Saanich-Gulf Islands and Leader of the Green Party of Canada\, will join the Indigenous leaders from New Brunswick\, Quebec and Ontario in a press conference regarding nuclear waste on Indigenous homelands on April 30 at 10:30am ET. \nThe Government of Canada is investing in and promoting an expansion of nuclear energy across the country. Already\, dozens of communities have radioactively contaminated sites on their homelands\, and they and others must carefully consider the impacts of proposed permanent repositories for nuclear waste on the next seven generations. \nAt the press conference\, Indigenous leaders will share their concerns about the existing situation of nuclear waste and the proposed expansion of the nuclear industry which will generate even more waste that must be safely contained for hundreds of thousands of years. \nNOTE: A recording of the press conference will be shared to this website after it concludes.

SUMMARY:[:en]Salvation Army - The Kettle Campaign in Sidney[:]
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth May\, MP for Saanich–Gulf Islands and Leader of the Green Party of Canada\, will join members of The Salvation Army at Thrifty Foods in Sidney to support their Kettle Campaign. She will ring the bell and wish folks happy holidays\, asking them to fill the kettle. Kettles are found in 2\,000 locations across Canada and are an opportunity for the public to donate whatever funds they can to support the work of The Salvation Army during the Christmas season and throughout the year. \n“The Salvation Army’s Christmas Kettle Campaign is one of Canada’s largest and most recognizable annual charitable events. In addition to the critical fundraising impact of the Campaign\, the Christmas kettles boost the Army’s visibility and awareness.  \nFor many Canadians\, the Christmas kettles are their only point of contact with The Salvation Army all year. According to public opinion polling\, more than half of all Salvation Army donors list “giving to a Christmas kettle” as their primary method of giving to The Salvation Army. \nFunds raised through donations made at Christmas kettles\, together with other sources of funds\, help provide direct\, compassionate\, hands-on service to over 1.9 million people each year in Canada\, restoring hope and dignity to those who might otherwise remain invisible in society.”
