Co-author, Emily Eaton, will discuss the book and be in conversation with local community leaders, water protector Michelle Paul and Council of Canadians co-executive director, Robin Tress.

Time: 6:30 pm ADT
Location: Glitter Bean Cafe, 5896 Spring Garden Rd, Halifax, NS

The End of this World: Climate Justice in So-Called Canada is a “Compelling roadmap to a livable future, where Indigenous sovereignty and climate justice go hand in hand. Together, the authors envision a near future where oil and gas stay in the ground; where a caring economy provides social supports for all; where wealth is redistributed from the bloated billionaire class; and where stolen land is rightfully reclaimed under the jurisdiction and sovereignty of Indigenous peoples.”

Accessibility information: Glitter Bean café has a wheelchair accessible entrance through the ramp on the patio.

This event is taking place on Kijipuktuk in Mi’kma’ki, the unceded, unsurrendered ancestral land of the Mi’kmaq people. Indigenous peoples have been and continue to be on the frontline of the resistance to extraction projects and at the forefront of movements for climate justice and land back in so-called Canada. Their voices must be at the centre of conversations on creating a new world.
