Guelph Anti-Pipeline (GAP) is hosting a used book sale to support the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation. All proceeds from the book sale will go to the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation Legal Defense Fund.
“Chippewas of the Thames First Nation is taking a stand in the Supreme Court of Canada to assert their rights as an Indigenous community. They are challenging the Canadian government to recognise and uphold its responsibilities under treaty. COTTFN’s court case challenges the lack of consultation they received for Enbridge’s Line 9 pipeline project, but its implications go far beyond this one pipeline. The outcome of this case will impact future decisions for extractive industry and land use in relation to treaty and inherent Indigenous rights. Stand with COTTFN to uphold Indigenous rights.”

If you have any books that you’re not using we will gladly take those off your hands and donate them to a good cause. You can drop off any used books at OPIRG-Guelph (24 Trent Lane) or email guelphgap@gmail.com for a pick up. We are accepting book donations until May 9th.
We will also be selling baked goods and patches to support the legal fund.
