Idle No More Teach In at MSVU

Auditorium D, Seton building, Mount Saint Vincent University
Oil, Resistance and Change: The Environment and Aboriginal Affairs in Canada
Wednesday, March 13, 7pm
MacMechan auditorium, Killam Library, Dalhousie University
More than just the name of the grassy land where the Oval sits, the notion of the common is increasingly important in a world where almost everything is seen as a commodity to be bought and sold. The Oval is accessible to everyone because it is publicly funded and operated – a common good we see fit to invest in. It shouldn’t be a zone for almost-free corporate advertising.

The Chronicle Herald publishes this op-ed by Power to the People campaigner Brian Crouse. Read why our oval deserves a better name.
