The Spire, 82 Sydenham St.

Recently passed Ontario Bill 5 allows the government to exempt entire regions from provincial laws and environmental safeguards through the creation of “Special Economic Zones.” One proposed Special Economic Zone is in the ‘Ring of Fire’ – the name given to a mineral-rich area in Treaty 9 lands in Northern Ontario. These lands and waters are home to the Omushkego Cree and among the world’s last and remaining intact peatlands.
Come hear from the Indigenous grassroots and youth organizers who, together with allies, are calling for the repeal of Bill 5, to protect the land and honour Treaty promises. While you’re at it, enjoy music by Sarah Harmer and Kakaow, some improv, and more.
With Special Guests: Ramon Kataquapit, musicians Kakaow and Sarah Harmer
