At a news conference in Victoria, British Columbia Premier John Horgan announces the launch of the CleanBC Roadmap to 2030. The climate plan brings in a number of new measures that the government says will help combat the effects of climate change, including increasing the price of carbon pollution, strengthening regulations on industrial methane emissions, requiring all new buildings to be zero-carbon by 2030, and aiming to have all cars in the province zero-emission by 2035. The premier is joined by George Heyman (B.C.’s environment minister), Merran Smith and Colleen Giroux-Schmidt (co-chairs of B.C.’s Climate Solutions Council), Ian McIver (president of Seaspan Marine Transportation), and Mark Jaccard (a member of B.C.’s Climate Solution Council).

That’s why, together with Professor Axel Pries, we have decided to join forces to organize a joint World Health Summit in October 2022, to engage an even broader group of actors, committed to multilateral action for global health.

12 years since the first World Health Summit, we meet once again in the shadow of a pandemic.

In Ottawa, NDP MP Charlie Angus is joined by Evelyn Korkmaz, a St. Anne’s Residential School survivor, as well as Deputy Grand Chief Anna Betty Achneepineskum from the Nishnawbe Aski Nation and Deputy Grand Chief Rebecca Friday from the Mushkegowuk Council to discuss the litigation between the federal government and survivors of St. Anne’s. They are calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to meet with survivors from the school, which operated from 1902 until 1976 in Fort Albany, Ontario. A recent interim report by retired judge Ian Pitfield found that at least 81 compensation cases involving the school require significant review.
