Over the last 3 days I’ve had the honour and privilege to attend Neegani-Iishawin in Thunder Bay to learn more about the exciting economic development opportunities being led by First Nations communities in Northern Ontario (some of which might include bioeconomies like forestry). Chi Miigwetch!!

The world is cruel, so I won’t be

My (partners) transphobe grandmother is a pain in the ass
