>>>PAST HOV EVENTS AND REPORTS |
- Successful campaign kick-off for "Hands Off Venezuela" in Alberta
- The month of May and the first couple weeks of June have seen the Canadian HoV campaign firmly establish itself in the province of Alberta’s capital, Edmonton, a healthy-sized city of around 1 million people. The combination of encouraging union support and impressive initial public event turn-outs shows promise not only for the growth of the campaign in Edmonton, but in the spreading of the campaign to the province’s other major city—Calgary.

- British Columbia delegation to Venezuela reports back in Vancouver
- At this year’s International Encuentro (gathering) in Solidarity with the Bolivarian Revolution, Canada’s delegation was one of the largest, second only to the delegation from neighbouring Colombia. The Vancouver Internationalist Bolivarian Circle “Bob Everton” teamed up with the Vancouver and District Labour Council (VDLC) to send a particularly large delegation from British Columbia.

- Hands Off Venezuela at the Winnipeg Social Forum
- On May 7, the Hands Off Venezuela Campaign made a presentation at the 1st annual Winnipeg Social Forum, held at the University of Winnipeg in Manitoba. Joining some 60 people who had participated in a full day of presentations, workshops, discussions, musicians, food, and street theatre, the supporters of Hands Off Venezuela and Fightback participated in a lively discussion on the important issue of Venezuela. Cy Gonick of SMAC facilitated the session. (by Hands Off Venezuela -- Winnipeg)
- Hands off Venezuela campaign launched in Vancouver!
- On the eve of May Day, forty people gathered at the Unitarian Church to launch the Hands off Venezuela campaign in Vancouver. Four speakers briefly addressed the meeting before the floor was opened up for discussion – both political and tactical. (by Miriam Martin)
- Hands off Venezuela campaign launched in Waterloo, ON
- On April 4th the Kitchener-Waterloo region saw it’s first Hands off Venezuela event. This is just one of a series of launch meetings occurring across Canada. Despite the upcoming exam-week and problems getting posters up on campus, 40 people came to the event. A variety of people showed up including professors, graduate students, students, and even members of the Venezuelan Opposition! (by Aaron Levin)
- Hands off Venezuela campaign launched at Trent University
- On Thursday, March 30, over 20 students attended a showing of the documentary “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” at Trent University. It was followed by a discussion on the developments in Venezuela since the coup, including the heroic activities of the Venepal workers. (by Julian Benson)
- Hands off Venezuela successfully launched in Toronto
- Following the anti-war demonstration this past weekend, over a dozen people showed up at a downtown pub to launch the Hands off Venezuela campaign in Toronto. (by Camilo Cahis)
- Hands Off Venezuela takes to the streets in Montreal
- “You need to get out of here now or these people will kill you.” This was the earnest and forceful advice given my friends and I about three minutes after we arrived at Montreal's Venezuelan consulate on August 15, referendum day in Venezuela. There were only three of us - my roommate Albert with his camera, Macdonald, a pro-Chavez activist, and I - waiting to be joined by a group of others who shared our views on events in Venezuela. Our intention was to demonstrate support for pro-Chavez voters, signs in hand. (By Lorenzo Fiorito)
