It took sustained commitment and the is suance of several mandatory orders for justice to be done.\n\n \;\n\n\ n\n \;\n\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.nfb.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/12 /Jordan-River-Anderson-The-Messengers.jpg CATEGORIES:AABIZIINGWASHI (WIDE AWAKE),Festivals LOCATION:Chief Harold Sappier Memorial Elementary School\, 305 Maliseet Dri ve\, Fredericton \, New Brunswick\, Canada GEO:45.979393;-66.62677 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=305 Maliseet Drive\, Freder icton \, New Brunswick\, Canada;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Chief Harold Sa ppier Memorial Elementary School:geo:45.979393,-66.62677 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Moncton X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Moncton BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20191103T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0300 TZOFFSETTO:-0400 TZNAME:AST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
