Dancing for the Planet

Earthdancers, a local dance troupe from Sudbury, Ontario will take to the stage March 26 & 27, to not only bring awareness of environmental issues, but to raise funds for organizations that help preserve the earth.

Earthdancers have supported FOE through their annual environmental event for the past 19 years.  FOE's CEO, Beatrice Olivastri will be in the audience and says "their dedication to the environment is inspirational".

“Earthdancers will be performing original works of modern dance choreographed by artistic director Denise Vitali and by elleQdance factory's Lauren Pero,” Emily Wood said in a release for the group.

To date Earthdancers have raised more than $76,000, including proceeds for local environmental efforts, said Wood. This year, the Junction Creek Stewardship Committee, VETAC (Sudbury Vegetation Enhancement Technical Advisory Committee), Light Up The World, and Friends of the Earth Canada will receive funds from the event. Last year more than $7,500 was raised.

Campaigns

FOE Canada's programs and campaigns focus on the most pressing environmental issues affecting the planet and its people today. Our work is supported in large part by ordinary Canadians who are concerned about the health of the environment and of current and future generations' well-being. Learn more about our campaigns, listed below, and help us make the positive, lasting changes that are needed now.


Be True To Blue Water Program

Water is central to our health, economy and future prosperity.  Faced with increased demand, continuing contamination and the impact of global warming, it's time for deep changes in our relationship with water and how we use and abuse it. 

 

Environmental Justice

By almost any measure, developed countries consume more than their fair share of the Earth’s resources and have a disproportionate impact on the global environment. What we consume, and the way we get it, has important implications for people living beyond our borders.

 

Stop Global Warming

Global warming is the defining issue of our time.  How we respond to this threat will shape our lives and livelihoods for decades to come.  Friends of the Earth addresses the need to act in the courts of law, in policy and regulation and, in communities to protect vulnerable citizens.
