Two events took place on November 30 in St. John's
Newfoundland related to Fortis' dam plans in Belize:
Hundreds of people gathered at the Human Rights
Fair in St. John's, and the Pennies for Parrots program had a booth,
distributing informational brochures and discussing Fortis' plans. People
were generally dismayed by Fortis' participation in the dam scheme and highly
supportive of efforts to stop the dam.
Later in the afternoon, a small group of people
went to the Holiday Inn, St. John's, to hand out brochures, and talk with hotel
and restaurant guests about the dam. After a short while, demonstrators
were asked to leave the premises, but not before all 250 brochures were handed
out to Fortis customers and staff. |
