Protesters march through N.B.
Dozens of protesters marched through the city to raise awareness about damage caused by the recent oil spill.
The protest, organized by Rod Gopher and Chief Wayne Semaganis, took place after a forum in North Battleford on Thursday, Aug. 4. After discussing the Husky Energy oil spill at the forum, protesters marched from the Whiterock Gas Plus on Highway 4, down 100th Street and across the Battlefords Bridge.
Carolyn Kiskotagan said she was walking to raise awareness about how sacred the water is, because nothing can live without water.
“With the help of the Creator and grandfathers, grandmothers, we’ll be able to do something to save our kids, our grandchildren, those not yet born, the animals, the plants, and hopefully a lot more people will become aware and do their best,” she said.
