The Chief of York Factory First Nation and MKO rep @Handersonpyrz look on as @conngrey71 expresses deep disappointment that the @SenateCA committee failed to make space to hear from Manitoba First Nations in today’s hearing on #BillC69. YFFN has been greatly impacted by #hydro.
Last week’s visit by @amnesty to my community of York Landing MB. It was a busy, amazing, uplifting experience to hear our women & men contribute to a dialogue in effecting change regarding hydroelectric development on gendered impacts in northern Manitoba. #IninewIswewak
Strong words from @AI_WomenRights & @conngrey71 abt how failure to consider gender in resource development projects results in failure to mitigate harmful impacts, e.g. how increased housing costs from resource sector place Indigenous women at increased risk of violence #BillC69
