Our friends at Greenpeace are helping organize a celebration to show how much we love our coast and want to protect it from all its impending threats – including Northern Gateway. It happens on the first Saturday of the Week to End Enbridge and we’re excited to be a partner.

Bring your family, friends and join us for a beachside celebration of this beautiful coastline, with live music, incredible participatory art, and fun games and activities! Come Toast the Coast and send a message to Harper that people — not oil — belong on these beaches.

Please invite your friends, share toastcoast.org and use #toastthecoast to let everyone know beaches are for people, not oil! and to join us on June 13.

This family friendly evening will include a 9-foot floating lantern based on the design of Roy Henry Vickers, a rap battle roasting Harper, live painting, food trucks, and hands-on art installations.

This event will be taking place on unceded Coast Salish Territory of the Xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ (Tsleil-Waututh) nations.

A territorial welcome and a few speakers will shed light on what we’re celebrating and protecting.

We’ll bring the jam!! Live music by:

• Giraffe Aftermath
• Viper Central
• Sandy Scofield
• Monica Lee Band
• Ta’Kaiya Blaney
• Corrina Keeling
• Rap battle roasters featuring:
• MANIK and Bearodactyl
