We are very appreciative Tristen Durocher has agreed to speak and perform at this event: Tristen  knows that even small positive changes can lead to great things – and he has been instrumental in creating those changes. Inspired by the defeat of a suicide prevention bill in the Saskatchewan Legislature, Tristen created the “Walking with Our Angels” campaign to raise awareness of the disproportionately high rate of suicide among Northern and Indigenous peoples, walking 635 km from his home in Air Ronge, SK, to the Legislative grounds in Regina, SK. He set up a teepee and started a 44-day ceremonial fast to convince the provincial government to adopt the bill it had recently voted down. The bill ultimately passed in April 2021.

For over 20 years, Amnesty International’s annual Write for Rights campaign has transformed the lives of people whose rights have been wronged. Using the power of their words, Write for Rights supporters have united behind a common purpose: together, we can change lives for the better.

Letter writing has always been at the heart of Amnesty International’s work and over 60 years of activism shows us that words have power.

Last year, we took over 4.6 million actions and our members hosted events in more than 200 countries, including 162 events across Canada. Together we wrote millions of letters, emails and Tweets and signing petitions.
