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.

The Wet’suwet’en, led by their hereditary chiefs, have stood against the CGL pipeline’s incursion into their territory for many years. In 2019 the pipeline owners obtained an injunction that led to the harsh removal of land defenders from their territory by the RCMP. In spite of incomplete environmental mitigation by CGL, and a pandemic, construction continues. This is a way-too-familiar story across Canada. Indigenous resistance stands in the way of planet-damaging industrial encroachment — logging, for instance (Barriere Lake and Grassy Narrows) or massive dams (Muskrat Falls) or fracking ( New Brunswick).

Speakers: Chief Adam Gagnon: respected chief name, Dsya’hyl, of the Likhts’amisyu, Wet’suwet’en Nation, and Donna Sinclair, author and journalist, North Bay

Look out for young ghostly ghouls and goblins on Friday October 30th from 6-9pm and Saturday, October 31st from 10am - 4 p.m. when Hutchison House Museum will host Halloween tours of the museum. Enjoy a spooky tour of the museum and take a craft and treat to go! Registration is required. There is a maximum of six people (from the same bubble) per 25 minute time slot. Admission for the Haunted Halloween spooktacular event is $5 per person. Costumes are encouraged and an adult must accompany young children. While we do make the upper levels of the house a little spooky, it is not our intention to scare anyone. For more information contact the museum at 705-743-9710.
