Throughout August, there will be multi-faith prayer vigils on both - TopicsExpress

Throughout August, there will be multi-faith prayer vigils on both sides of the border for the Columbia River as President Obama and Prime Minister Harper are considering proposals to modernize the Columbia River Treaty to restore the river to health and return salmon to ancestral spawning waters. Each event should promote the vigil as an opportunity to pray, tell stories, play music and project positive energy towards the Columbia River. CELP is helping to support this effort as part of our Ethics & Treaty project.
