Fisheries and Oceans Canada: Joint Statement
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 02/01/12 -- Dear Colleagues:
On February 2nd, 2012, all Members of Parliament in the House of Commons will have an opportunity to support Canada's northern and coastal communities.
Sealing is an important economic and cultural driver in Canada's eastern, arctic and northern communities. It is a long-standing and integral part of Canada's rural culture and a way of life for thousands of Canadians.
As a sign of support for the individuals who rely on the sustainable seal harvest in Canada, we are asking all Members of Parliament to show their support by wearing a seal fur lapel pin in the House of Commons on February 2nd, 2012. The lapel pins will be made available to Members in their lobbies and are provided by the Nunavut Government and the Nunavut Arts and Crafts Association.

While in Ottawa for the Northern Lights 2012 Business and Cultural Showcase, representatives from Canada's North will also discuss the sealing industry with officials and federal representatives.
