Featured Panel:
The Oil Sands, the Boreal Forest & Biodiversity from an Aboriginal Perspective
There’s no denying that oil sands development is having a tremendous impact on biodiversity in Western Canada. These rapid changes – to the land, the air, the water and the wildlife – are affecting Aboriginal peoples more than any other community in the country. This panel will give voice to the concerns and first-hand experiences of Aboriginals communities affected by the oil sands. Panellists will discuss the impacts of industrial operations on biodiversity, the boreal forest and traditional ways of life, and offer solutions to bring peace to these environments and the people who live there.
