Earth Day in Nanaimo, B.C.

Earth Day in Nanaimo, B.C. was held on April 26th in Bowen Park and we got the best weather of all the days Earth Day was celebrated in communities this month. There was a long line-up of excellent Island musicians, and the Mudgirls from Lasquiti Island, a costumed ensemble playing brass and drums. One woman in a black bird outfit and on stilts was quite impressive.
There were various groups with tables there; The Green Party, NALT, including one by Nanaimo Foodshare and Community Gardens Society where plants were sold. Several M.P."s were present including Leanard Krog, NDP in Nanaimo and Carol James , NDP leader in Victoria.
With the beautiful back drop of the Nanaimo River it was definitely a day for celebrating Nature and dancing in underwear with a big green E painted on my body.
