PRESS RELEASE
UCCMM STANDS UP FOR FIRST NATION SELF-GOVERNANCE RIGHTS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE
UCCMM is proud to announce that it has been granted leave to intervene in the Reference re: Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act at the Ontario Court for Appeal.
UCCMM’s intervention will ensure that the Court understands that climate change is not an abstract issue but one that has already begun disproportionately affecting our inherent rights and jurisdiction over our lands and waters. As stewards of the largest freshwater island in the world, we are ensuring that the courts take into account the Anishinabek perspective when determining if climate change is a matter of national interest.  Click here to read the full press release.
