Indigenous and environmental coalition hold media conference during oil sands conference – The Gateway Online
“The prestige of university researchers who collaborate with industry is appropriated by corporations to greenwash their operations,” U of A professor emerita says.
On December 10 at 12:00 p.m., a coalition of Indigenous and environmental organizations held a media conference in response to the International Oil Sands Tailings Conference (IOSTC). The University of Alberta hosted the IOSTC from December 9–10.
The conference was planned to take place outside the Dinwoodie Lounge in the Students’ Union Building (SUB) — where the IOSTC was held — but it was moved to the first level of SUB. Approximately 30 coalition members, U of A students, and faulty attended.
