Come visit a furry friend for some much needed relaxation in the SAS Multi Use Access Lounge. Every Thursday 2 - 3 pm in the tunnels, SC 0004. All are welcome!

There will be a free public screening of Lake Superior Our Helper: Stories from Batchewanaung Anishinabek Fisheries on Thursday, November 2, 2023, 4:30-6:30PM @ Bora Laskin Faculty of Law (PACI Building)

The film screening will be followed by a discussion with Kerrie Blaise (Legal Advocates for Nature's Defence - LAND) and members of Friends of the Attawapiskat River

Lake Superior Our Helper follows Chief Dean Sayers through a series of conversations with community members to reveal the cultural, political, and ecological relationships surrounding their fisheries. Inviting us on a journey of Lake Superior, the film shares the messages of Elders, youth, fishers, community leaders, and their visions for the future of Batchewana’s fisheries. It also documents how fishing has changed over time, conflicts with the state around management and regulation, principles of Indigenous law, and the culture and ceremony that are deeply embedded within fishing practices.
