It took sustained commitment and the is suance of several mandatory orders for justice to be done.\n\n\nMore infor mation here.\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:Cape Breton University\, Boardmore Playhouse\, 1250 Grand Lake Roa d\, Sydney\, Nova Scotia\, Canada GEO:46.167626;-60.091636 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=1250 Grand Lake Road\, Sydn ey\, Nova Scotia\, Canada;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Cape Breton Universit y\, Boardmore Playhouse:geo:46.167626,-60.091636 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Halifax X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Halifax BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20191103T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0300 TZOFFSETTO:-0400 TZNAME:AST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
