There are a couple of items that might be of interest to the JL
group. Check out the items re mining companies and "Right Relations". You can find the link in the Recommended Websites List under "MB/NW ONT UC Conference". Also here.
Mining:
Did you know: Approximately 75 percent of the world’s mining companies are registered in Canada. Various Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities, both in Canada and abroad, have raised serious concerns regarding the impact of mining activities in their communities, including by certain Canadian companies. Find out more about the petition and how to take action.
Right Relations:
Right Relations Home Groups formed following the 2008 United Church event held at Pinawa, Manitoba —a Right Relations gathering that was composed of an equal number of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal attendees.
These groups have committed to a five-year process — as does a national Living into Right Relations Task Group — of living into Right Relations between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples in their respective areas.
