Great session on Canada’s efforts on human rights. I fielded and responded to comments and recommendations from over 100 countries on Indigenous issues. Proud to represent Canada at the UN!

@NWAC_CA is looking for Volunteers! Help us with the opening of the new NWAC building, general office support, assembling gift bags, kits and medicine bags for those who are interested in being trained to do this . We can also sign off on volunteer hours too!
Merci, Thank you, Meegwetch, Qujannamiik, Marsi & Mahsi Cho to First Nations, Inuit & Métis Elders at #UNFPII for opening & closing all our sessions with a traditional prayer in their language. One of Elder Oliver Boulette’s languages is music!
