Ottawa Eel Walk

"Around 30 people gathered on Victoria Island Monday morning to advocate for the return of the endangered American Eel to the Ottawa River. The event mixed art with activism, with attendees carrying windsocks decorated to look like as eels as they marched to Parliament Hill. The marquee creation was an 8.2-meter-long replica of an eel, which had to be carried by six walkers."
