You are invited to view Flooding Hope: The
Lake St. Martin Story and to hear from filmmaker Dr. Myrle Ballard,
in the first event of this year's Kairos North East Justice and Peace
Speaker Series. The 20 minute film, made in 2012, documents how decades of
flood fighting measures to protect towns, cities and farms have resulted in the
drowning of Lake St. Martin First Nation land. Dr. Ballard, who has her PhD in
natural resources and environmental management grew up in Lake St. Martin, and
is Research Associate and Instructor at the Natural Resources Institute at the
University of Manitoba. The meeting will take place at John Black United
Church at 898 Henderson Highway on Tuesday, November 12th, between 7:30
and 9:30. All are welcome.
