ONEIG and the Canadian Environmental Law Association hosted a two part webinar series on water and human health on September 24th 2020 and October 1st 2020.
In this webinar, looking a the Indigenous relationship to water, Rachel Arsenault spoke about how that relationship has been impacted by water insecurity. She discussed water contamination in reserves and how water insecurity have hindered many First Nations abilities to protect their members during this pandemic.
For nearly two years, the Canadian Environmental Las Association counsel and staff were extensively involved in representing Concerned Walkerton Citizens at the Public Inquiry investigating that Ontario community's tainted water tragedy. This webinar with CELA Executive Director Theresa McClenaghan and Concerned Walkerton Citizens Chair Bruce Davidson, we spoke more about the the health impacts of tainted water and the government's reaction to the community's water crisis.
