A benefit concert is taking place tonight in Prince Albert for the local chapter of Idle No More.
The show begins at 7:00 p.m. at the John M. Cuelenaere Library.
Rick Sawa of the Council of Canadians says Idle No More is a grassroots expression of democracy and adept at tackling local and national issues.
He says the concert is intended to be a show of support:
“Kind of a celebration for them, the work they’ve done . . . and also to give them moral support and some financial support. I know they hold events and they’re always providing food — so this is just a little bit of help for them.”
