Constitutional Right to Clean Water for Indigenous Nations
This World Water Day we are reminded of Indigenous Peoples' ongoing fight for access to clean drinking water in Canada, and the efforts of Indigenous nations to hold the Canadian government accountable for protecting Aboriginal** water rights under s. 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982 (the "Constitution"). The government has a legal duty to protect the constitutional rights of Indigenous Peoples. We take a look at the statutes and caselaw dealing with this important issue, and how they have impacted society to date.
Facing Resistance: Uncovering Systemic Bias in the Justice System
We believe that elevating empathy, increasing inter-cultural awareness and embracing humility in the justice sector can help combat discrimination and create a justice system that serves the people who need it the most. This starts with legal professionals who strive to learn new ways to connect and better serve a broad array of clients.
Join us on April 9th, 2019 from 1:00 – 4:30 p.m. as we host the following speakers.
