Dear ONEIG member,
Hello ONEIG members!
Here are some wonderful ways you can take action this month:
Congressional Briefing on Climate & Health
Hello ONEIG members!
A heart-felt thank you to all those who attended our quarterly meeting. It was wonderful to connect with people and discuss key topics to address in the upcoming year!
News:
Access to safe water and sanitation for all is essential to life and a matter of environmental and social justice. Unfortunately, there are over 100 drinking water advisories in First Nations across Canada and no national strategy to address urgent water issues.
The COVID-19 pandemic compounds harms of historically marginalized communities. Our collective recovery must build stronger, healthier communities, including healthy environmental public policy that challenges structural inequities, including environmental racism.
We need our governments to take immediate, future-minded action now to ensure the foundational conditions for human health and wellbeing are sustained for generations to come.
