As we speak, the Parker Wetlands located near Grant Park Mall at the historic site of the metis road allowance community Rooster Town is at risk of being clear-cut by developers to build suburbs and condos. Jenna Vandal, Metis and Indigenous groups, and The Parker Wetlands Conservation Committee have blockaded the shredding machines and have set up camp at the site. There was never proper consultation with any indigenous groups on the sale of the land – we want to stop the clear-cutting until this happens.
We need your support! Come down to the site, camp with us, bring supplies, sign the petition, and help us stop the destruction of an endangered wetlands and historic site.
