Good morning ONEIG members,
We trust you had an enjoyable long weekend even if going to work was part of your agenda.
We have our AGM on Monday, Aug. 21 7 p.m. The AGM will be audiovisual so all members across Ontario can join in. The agenda is attached.
If you would like to join in via Skype please send your username to kpickering@rnao.com or your phone number.
Please remember to vote for the student representative this week.
Sincerely,
Your ONEIG executive
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.
