Community Event - North Bay - Wet'suwet'en Witness: Environmental Justice

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Wednesday, October 21, 2020 at 7 PM EDT – 8 PM EDT

This is an online workshop

Public · Hosted by Indigenous Solidarity Team North Bay

This session will focus on environmental racism. It is our hope that this webinar will enable participants to make connections with the Wet'suwet'en struggle in order to grapple with the intersection between Indigenous rights/sovereignty and the environment, and thereby, to explore how pipeline development et al in this case, is a form of environmental racism. We'd also like to enable participants to make connections to our Northern Ontario reality where this has/is also happening.

Speakers
Bruce McIvor, lawyer and historian, First Peoples Law Corporation, Vancouver
Mary Laronde, consultant to Union of Ontario Indians and Councillor, Teme-Augama Anishnabai, Temagami.
