Action for Rivers
Annual Ride for the River
We are Riverkeepers. While our main reason for existing is to protect our Grand (Churchill) River in Labrador, we are also part of the worldwide Waterkeepers Alliance.
Grand Riverkeeper Labrador Inc. hosts a special event “Ride for the River” as part of its participation in the worldwide annual International Day of Action for Rivers. The International Day is celebrated in March.
(Be sure to check this site for notices and mark your calendars.)

More about International Day of Action for Rivers
Excerpt from associated website: www.internationalrivers.org/
Every year, thousands of people around the world lift their voices to celebrate the world’s rivers and those who struggle to protect them. The International Day of Action for Rivers is a day to celebrate victories such as dam removal and river restoration. It is a day to take to the streets, demonstrate and demand improvements in the policies and practices of decision makers. It is a day to educate one another about the threats facing our rivers, and learn about better water and energy solutions. Above all, it is a day to unite – by acting together, we demonstrate that these issues are not merely local, but global in scope.
