Hello ONEIG members,
We enjoyed connecting with you at our quarterly meeting earlier this month!
Please see our newsletter for highlights, upcoming workshops and eco-friendly holiday tips.
As we shift into winter, we wish you and your loved ones a safe, healthy and happy holiday season!
Best,
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.
