Join Indigenous Climate Action for a deep-dive webinar on Bill C-5 and what it means for Indigenous communities, climate policy, and so-called Canada’s climate commitments heading into COP30.

This teach-in brings together Indigenous leaders and advocates to unpack how the government’s idea of “Building Canada” actually just maintains extractive, colonial systems – and redwashes the whole thing through structures like the “Indigenous Advisory Council.”

Through open discussions and critical reflections, we’ll explore how Bill C-5 connects to Canada’s climate commitments, both nationally and internationally in spaces like COP30. Register now to be part of this important conversation about justice, sovereignty, and the future of climate action in so-called Canada.

Is that spot on your apple or fuzz on your cheese a reason to toss it—or is it still safe to eat? In this eye-opening and interactive session, Rachael Jackson, creator of theĚýEat or Toss?Ěýwebsite, will give you a guided tour of theĚýEat or Toss?Ěýplatform—an easy-to-use resource designed to help you waste less food by understanding what physical changes in your foods really mean so you can make informed decisions about what stays and what goes.

Rachael will also host a live Q&A to answer your most curious or questionable food blemish dilemmas, helping you separate fact from fiction when it comes to food safety.

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

• Gain more understanding of why certain foods might look “off”

• Gain science-informed guidance on assessing whether food is safe to eat

• Explore theĚýEat or Toss?Ěýwebsite as a go-to tool for food waste prevention

• Feel more confident in making food safety decisions at home

Amidst the growing threats of climate change and recent draconian policies to expand mining, logging, oil and gas infrastructure, this event is a galvanizing call for settlers and climate activities to learn from and support the work frontline land defenders have done to protect the land and water.

This event is held in collaboration with the Anishinabe Moose Committee (). And we’re so excited to announce more of our collaborators:

Sakej (James Ward) is Mi’kmaw from the community of Esgenoopetitj, adopted into the wolf clan. Sakej served with both the Canadian and American militaries. Sakej transformed his military experience and university education into strategies, approaches, and methods to contribute to decolonizing Indigenous people. He has spent the last 32 years traveling North and Central America, helping groups pursue Indigenous nationhood and cultural resurgence.

Also presenting will be Waba Mako/Shannon Chief () of the Anishinaabe-Algonquin Nation wolf clan. Waba is an Algonquin Language Teacher and the full-time Anishnabe Moose Committee Coordinator.

This is a free event, with all donations going to the Anishinabe Moose Committee.
