Joseph Duncan, an Indigenous member from the NAN Territory and former chair of the Sierra Club's Ontario chapter, will discuss the club’s work on a report for the government’s Regional Assessment of the Ring of Fire. Our report focuses on the social, environmental, and economic impacts of the proposed development including a survey of some local residents. The $60 billion chromite mining proposal, referred to as the Ring of Fire, impacts 5,100 square kilometers of Northwestern Ontario. The area is rich in mineral deposits, peat moss, caribou, and many other species essential to Indigenous nations’ economy and culture. The region is home to the Indigenous people of the Nishnawbe Aski Nation, with a population of 45,000.</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://www.sierraclub.ca/en/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=54">https://www.sierraclub.ca/en/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=54</a></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#70AD47'>Home Care Fault Lines: Understanding Tensions and Creating Alliances<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Fri.
