If you love harmony, simply download your part (low, mid, high vocal range), learn your part, then come sing your part at noon on July 1!
LOCATION
The gathering takes places in front of the great Salish Sea iron sculpture by Salish artist Chris Paul.
This location is part of the site of the ancient seaport of Sitchanalth.
It was also the location of Sealand where humans first realized that keeping ORCAs in captivity was inconsistent with the emerging human spirit.
BRING LOLITA HOME
As the World Spotlight is on Canada we are happy to do our little bit to also share this attention with “Tokitae/Lolita” and the “Bring Lolita Home” movement who are campaigning this month to bring Lolita home to Friday Harbour from a pen in Miami.
