About This Meeting

Please join us for a presentation and discussion about Indigenous Heritage and Ecological Conservation in the Salish Sea.

In the Salish Sea, a range of development pressures threatens the deep connections to place and the ecosystems that sustain them. In this free webinar, our five panellists will guide discussions about the potential for on-the-ground actions and higher-level policy initiatives that lead to the protection of valued ecosystems and at the same time honour Indigenous connections to the land.

Panellists include:

• Alag̱a̱mił Nicole Norris – Halalt First Nation, Indigenous Planning Officer for the Minister of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness
• Adam Huggins – Restoration Coordinator for the Galiano Conservancy, Sessional Instructor for Ecological Restoration in Continuing Studies at the University of Victoria
• Gordon Scott – Chair, Lasqueti Island Nature Conservancy
• Kate Emmings – Manager, Islands Trust Conservancy
• Eli Enns – CEO and President of the IISAAK OLAM Foundation

This webinar is hosted by the Xwe’etay/Lasqueti Archaeology Project and Simon Fraser University.

Contact Owen Wilson at SFU for further information.

This webinar is the first of a series of speaker events supported by the Islands Trust Conservancy’s Species At Risk Program.
