River Run 2026 – Walk with Grassy Narrows for Mercury Justice

June 16, 2026

On Wednesday September 23rd, 2026, community members and leaders will travel 1,700km from Grassy Narrows to Toronto to demand that Ontario and Canada:

  • Compensate everyone in Grassy Narrows fairly for the mercury crisis.
  • End the pollution by stopping the Dryden mill and ending mining and nuclear waste plans that threaten Grassy Narrows.
  • Support Grassy Narrows in restoring their community and way of life from the damage that mercury has done.

Show Grassy Narrows that you are with them in this important fight by:

  • Showing up to River Run 2026 and letting Grassy Narrows you stand with them in their fight for justice!
  • Share the RSVP link with friends and community asking them to attend with you.
  • Asking your organization to endorse the march, sending a large delegation to it, and sharing it to your email lists and social media platforms. 

Come out to show your support for Grassy Narrows’ fight for mercury justice!
