CICC Award Night: 5 youth from 7000 Generations Walk honored!!!002

Last summer the 7000 Generations Walk Against Nuclear Waste travelled on foot from Pinehouse to Regina to gather attention about the horrible plans of a nuclear waste dump for their communities. They drew much needed attention to the cause of preventing nuclear waste travelling from Eastern Provinces (or the spectre of it travelling from USA???) and brought a message to the provincial government that a ban on nuclear waste is needed soon.

Amongst this group were 5 youth, Geron Paul, Rueben Roy, Marissa Favel, Shayna Paul and River Cote! Last night these 5 youth were recipients of the Global Citizens Award presented by Council of International Cooperation and honored at a Gala Evening

Emil Bell, was suffering the ill effects of a hunger strike to protest the idea of a Nuclear Waste Repository to be built in Saskatchewan, yet he mustered enough strength to motor to Saskatoon, and passionately address the crowd.

The occassion: "Fukushima, Nuclear Waste & The Future of Nuclear Power" a presentation by Gordon Edwards and _____________ (photographs).
Gordon explained the nuclear process and made strong points as to why all societies everywhere should steer clear of Nuclear Power. The legacy of spills, releases, meltdowns, human error, and long term remainders of Nuclear waste are compelling reasons to seek alternative forms of power generation AND conserving what we do use.
