Hi Louisette,

 

Thanks for running this by us. See attached for our edits (I included a clean version and a tracked change version in case you want to see what needed to shift). Mostly, it’s clarifying our legal action. If anything else needs to change, please run it by me again. I’ll get a quick turn around if necessary. 

 

Best luck,

Hello 

Justin is out of town until the 14th but I promised that Ecojustice would have the opportunity to approve of any press releases associated with a lecture we have planned regarding the Aamjiwnaang First nations Supreme Court case. 

Below is the wording approved by our GREN executives. We are open to any changes that ecojustice staff recommend. It's flexible at this point.

The first press release is very short and designed for inclusion in our local paper's calendar of events followed by a longer ad designed for emails and media. 

If you have any questions/comments/suggestions feel free to reach me by phone or email.

Free Public Forum
Pollution Vs. Human Rights

Aamjiwnaang First Nations and Ecojustice allege the Ontario Ministry of the Environment's ongoing approval of pollution in Sarnia’s Chemical Valley is a violation of Canadian Human Rights. A lawsuit has been launched which asks for no compensation, only for the province to change current emissions standards.

The plight of the Aamjiwnaang people first came to light after finding that only a thrid of babies born between 1999 and 2005 were male. The ration is normally closer to 50:50.  

This lawsuit can set a precedent for all communities in terms of forcing the government to take into account the cumulative impacts of contaminant discharges when issuing permits to specific polluters. Learn the details of the alarming impacts of pollution on community and environment in this landmark case and find out how you can help. 

Date: Wed. April 6 2011, starting at 7pm
Location: First United Church, 16 William Street West, Waterloo Ontario

Speakers include: 

*	Ron Plain & Ada Lockridge, Aamjiwnaang residents 
*	Justin Duncan EcoJustice lawyer 
*	Dayna Nadine Scott, Co-director of the National Network on Environments and Women's Health 
*	John Jackson, Spokesperson of the Grand River Environmental Network (GREN) 


Admission is Free, but donations payable to Ecojustice are welcomed.

This event is sponsored by the Grand River Environmental Network and First United Church Outreach Committee of Waterloo. 

The Grand River Environmental Network www.gren.ca <http://www.gren.ca/>  <http://www.gren.ca <http://www.gren.ca/> >  is the proactive voice for the environment in the Grand River watershed.
