J
oin us for the second Interfaith Water Ceremony hosted by the Tsleil-Waututh Nation Sacred Tru
st and supported by Sierra Club BC
!
We invite you once again to join Rueben George, Charlene Aleck, and TWN Sacred Trust to come together to witness and participate in an interfaith water ceremony on the morning of Sunday, May 25th at Whey-ah-Wichen / Cates Park in North Vancouver. 
We invite you to join TWN, honoring many faiths, to paddle together – one heart, one mind, one prayer.
This May marks one year since the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project began commercial operations. We recognize that the active usage of the pipeline and corresponding oil tanker traffic represents a challenging stage in this work; however, we continue to have faith. We will not normalize its operations nor the continued risks it poses. We invite you to come together with us in prayer in this interfaith ceremony, renewing our commitment to care for the air, lands, and waters by sharing our various cultural teachings and responsibilities to water.
The event will start early in the morning with a paddle on Burrard Inlet. On the water, faith and spiritual leaders share prayers and offerings. There will be limited space in the canoes - we invite you to bring your own canoes, kayaks, paddle boards etc., and join us out on the water. We will then re-group on land and share a meal together. 
Please RSVP using Eventbrite so we can provide enough food for all attending.
 People will be welcomed to make an offering at the fire bowl and we will then hear from the faith and spiritual leaders who helped to shape the event. This is a kid friendly event :)
The day may be sunny or rainy – please bring water and sun/rain protection. You may want to bring a chair. Please share this invitation broadly!
Event timeline:
8:30 am - early start for those going on the water (very limited canoe access, it is suggested to come early or bring your own watercraft)
9:00 - 11:00 am on the water in canoes
11:00 – 11:30 am general public arrive and settle in. Fire bowl offerings welcome.
11:30 – 12:00 pm lunch provided
12:00 - 2:00 pm teachings from each spiritual community
More about the pipeline:
Over 34 billion taxpayer dollars have been spent on this dangerous pipeline and tanker project that puts the health of the water, salmon, orcas, and humans at risk. Climate impacts of more frequent and intense floods, landslides and wildfires make this project increasingly vulnerable to a spill that would devastate the surrounding lands and waters. As part of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation’s own assessment of the proposed project, leading risk assessment experts from Simon Fraser University put the risk of a spill at 79 – 87 percent over a 50-year period, meaning the project is a direct threat to the Tsleil-Waututh community and ways of life.In this moment, we invite our faith and spiritual leaders to work together in caring for our lands and waters. We look forward to doing this work together.

At first, I thought it was just an ordinary suspension bridge. It didn&#39;t seem to be anything special. The ticket price was expensive, and the cost performance was not good. Later, I saw a 50% discount on Viator. I planned to board the cruise in the afternoon, so I went anyway. When I arrived at the gate, I found that there were many tourists. As expected, I had to queue up to get on the suspension bridge. Fortunately, I only queued for about 15 minutes. I thought it would be better to go earlier if there were fewer people. This attraction is still very fun to take children. Although we have been to the Wangtianshu Scenic Area in China before, the treetop adventure section is similar, but here there is a task list for children at the entrance, and they can exchange small gifts for completing it. There are many introductions about animals and plants. You can listen to the explanation according to the schedule, and you will also have the opportunity to touch the animals. It is suitable for children to explore and discover by themselves. The Hawk who likes to bask in the sun is very cute.

Grouse Mountain Peak

Mountain climbing

小思文

Grouse Mountain is a perfect natural landscape. In the summer, you can enjoy the green scenery all over the mountain. In the winter, it is also a good place for skiing. The Grouse Mountain tour bus can go directly to the sightseeing spot on the top of the mountain. The lake water is also a very clear resource.

Cliffwalk

Natural scenery

DEAR张小球

The plank road is a must-see attraction when visiting the suspension bridge park. In fact, there is no danger. Even people like me who are afraid of heights think it is okay. The scenery here is super good, with mountains, water, lush greenery, and pleasant scenery.
