Important dates:
From 1st June we will be setting up the camp, come along & get involved, no skills or experience necessary, this is a great way to learn and meet people.
21st- 30th June - Summer camp - bring everyone you know up to Rossport! This is going to be a pretty special event. The camp has been going since 2005 and so it's a bit of a reunion for everyone that's ever been and also a chance for lots of new faces to get involved.

4. Latest news
As far as we know, Shell are still facing huge difficulties with the tunnel boring machine, slowing down all construction on the pipeline :) If they are having problems without protests, imagine what June will be like :P
