***Date Changed to avoid clash with the long weekend***

For the upcoming International day of Action for River and against Dams, we will head to the Yarra (on March 10) and do something even a little bit creative. Then we will paddle the river.

We can paint some signs or posters, we can make creative photos, or whatever you can think of. This will need to be planned beforehand.

"Every year, thousands of people around the world lift their voices to celebrate the world's rivers and those who struggle to protect them. The International Day of Action for Rivers is a day to celebrate victories such as dam removal and river restoration. It is a day to take to the streets, demonstrate and demand improvements in the policies and practices of decision makers. It is a day to educate one another about the threats facing our rivers, and learn about better water and energy solutions. Above all, it is a day to unite – by acting together, we demonstrate that these issues are not merely local, but global in scope."
