A decade after the Supreme Court of Canada’s decision in Grassy Narrows First Nation v Ontario (Natural Resources), the community continues to assert their jurisdiction over their lands and territories and to fight for reparations for ongoing mercury poisoning of their watershed.  Join us to learn about what the community has been able to achieve through their organizing and leadership, as well as their ongoing litigation related to mercury poisoning and Ontario's Mining Act. Our panel of experts will share their experiences to help you understand best practices for managing contamination on Indigenous lands, and what to look for in future litigation.
