I’m still savouring this week’s news 🎆: @uwaterloo has committed to remove fossil fuels from its pension + endowment investments and to achieve 100% carbon neutrality by 2040. More details here👇 plus a thread of thanks.
Today is a monumental day for @uwaterloo! 🖤💛
This afternoon, the Board of Governors unanimously voted in favour of adopting a landmark #decarbonization strategy for their investments, a legacy that cements them as a leader and innovator on climate action. #BeyondDivestmentUW

We occupied MP Bardish Chagger’s office to protest RCMP/Coastal Gas Links attacks on Wet’suwet’en territory. Some of us declared we’d leave voluntarily, others said they wouldn’t leave. They ejected all cooperates from the office. They can now arrest without witness.

Trudeau said during the election campaign that money was no objection to building the Mercury Home in #GrassyNarrows. Now that Indigenous Services Minister @MarcMillerVM is in place, we hope he will get the job done.
@JustinTrudeau: Honour your word.
