WAR CRIMINALS UNWELCOME HERE

At the end of May, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be coming to Canada, including visits to Ottawa and Toronto. The Ottawa Palestine Solidarity Network is organizing a protest of Netanyahu’s visit on Monday, May 31, starting at 5pm, at the Human Rights Monument in Ottawa. We need you to join us and to bring all your friends.

The occupation. The wall. The siege. The Settlements. The impunity. The Israeli occupation is becoming increasingly brutal with the unflinching support of the Canadian government. For all these reasons and more, it's crucial for all Canadians who believe in justice and peace and justice to take a stand.

The illegal siege of Gaza continues to suffocate the Palestinians who live there, preventing them from rebuilding from Israel’s attack on last year that killed 1400 people (half of them children). The recent military order giving the Israeli military discretion to deport Palestinians from the West Bank is an affront to human rights and democracy.

The OPSN is calling on groups from coast to coast to organize local solidarity demonstrations on or near May 31, to protest Netanyahu’s upcoming attempt to re-brand Israel in Canada, and the complicity of the Canadian government in Israel’s violations of international law.

Let us join together in solidarity to oppose occupation and take a stand for justice, peace and human rights!

Check back here soon for more details.

Bring the kids and spend an afternoon with author Laura Robinson and discover the joy of cycling.
We're launching Laura's new book Cyclist Bikelist and you're invited!


Drawing on her love of cycling and her experiences as a lifelong cyclist, a former member of the Canadian National Cycling Team, and the coach of the Anishinaabe Racers, Cyclist Bikelist is a great resource for both kids and adults interested in cycling and making it a part of their lives.

Laura Robinson combines fascinating history (the first bike was propelled by the rider’s feet pushing against the ground) with useful and fun information, including tips for the way to dress for safe and efficient biking; what to eat for maximum body efficiency; and how to select and maintain a bike.

Join us for an exciting afternoon that will be sure to get you and your kids ready and able to head out exploring on two wheels. In addition to the launch there will be tons of bike themed activities for kids of all ages.
