Monday is a world day of action for Idle No More and events are being held around the globe.
In Regina, hundreds of people are expected to fill Conexus Arts Centre for what is being called a celebration of the movement and the impact it has had.
Organizers say this event will be much different from past marches and protests.
It is aimed at creating diversity, awareness and working together to protect Canada’s environment.
Keynote speakers include a lawyer, an academic, environmentalists, social activists and even a Canada Post letter carrier.
Dodie Ferguson is a member of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers and she is also First Nations
Ferguson helped coordinate Monday’s event and she says it was easy to get people on side.
Ferguson says Idle No More has gone from coffee talk to action and credits the movement for breaking down barriers between Aboriginals and non-Aboriginals.
She says even though the movement has accomplished a lot there is still much left to do.
The Regina Idle No More event is one of many scheduled across the province today.
Most are listed on Facebook – the social media medium that has been used to turn the Idle No More movement into global phenomenon.
Aside from the speakers, tonight’s event will include local entertainment.
It runs from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and admission is free
In Saskatoon, Idle No More activists joined forces with Common Causes – another grassroots organization – for an event at Station 20 West.
Karen Pedersen, one of Common Causes’ organizers, says the group is against the Conservative government’s agenda in a number of areas including the environment and labour rights.
This event began at 11 a.m. and ran to about 4:30 p.m.
