The chief of Aamjiwnaang First Nation says the community continues to work on a pilot project to address environmental racism as part of Bill C-226.
The bill, which received support from the federal government last year, aims to develop a national strategy to address the harm caused by environmental racism.
Chief Janelle Nahmabin said for Aamjiwnaang, environmental racism relates to allowances given to facilities for things that impact the environment and the health of community members.
