The Council of Canadians Quill Plains (Wynyard) chapter has written Wallonia's Minister-President Paul Magnette in support of his position on the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA).
The Council of Canadians Kent County chapter marked World Water Day with an event drawing attention to the interconnectedness... between forests and watersheds.
The Council of Canadians Montreal chapter participated in Earth Hour at a City of Westmount event on Saturday March 25.
The Trudeau government is reportedly working on trying to conclude two 'free trade' agreements with India.
The Council of Canadians is concerned by legislation introduced by Premier Brian Palliser that would reduce the number of drinking water infrastructure inspections and promote public-private partnerships (P3s)
The Council of Canadians Winnipeg chapter has long supported the call for 'Freedom Road', an all-weather road that would connect the Shoal Lake 40 First Nation reserve with other communities after it was made an island a century ago when an aqueduct was built to carry drinking water to Winnipeg.
The Council of Canadians St. John's chapter is supporting a fundraiser for land protectors arrested in Labrador and Standing Rock.
The Council of Canadians Kamloops chapter joined with 30 organizations today to sign a 'Declaration of Support' in solidarity with the Stk’emlúpsemc te Secwépemc Nation’s (SSN) decision to withhold its free, prior and informed consent for the proposed Ajax copper-gold mine at Pípsell (Jacko Lake and area).
There is nothing more important than clean water. Yet water services and water resources are under growing pressure.
On March 22nd, World Water Day, I had the privilege of being part of a human rights delegation to Kitiganik, Rapid Lake reserve, at the invitation of members of Mitchikanibikok Inik, the Algonquins of Barrière Lake.
As we venture to make comments on the NEB “modernization” process, it is important to remember that the main role of the NEB currently is to review, monitor and regulate pipelines and transmission lines across provincial or federal borders.
