NSPIRG will be hosting a forestry forum on March 18th at Dalhousie University. The forum will address the issue of native rights in the protection of Canada's heritage forests. The title of the forum is Conflict of Interests - Who owns Nova Scotia's forests?" The keynote speaker will be environmentalist and native rights activist Kevin Thomas who is a founding member of Friends of the Lubicon. FOL recently won a major victory in the courts against the multinational forestry company Daishowa. Daishowa had sued FOL in the hopes of destroying one of the most successful consumer boycots in Canadian history. FOL has been urging Canadians to boycot Daishowa paper products as the company plans to clearcut the ancestral lands of the Lubicon Cree Nation of northern Alberta. In addition to Kevin Thomas, we have invited Burnd Christmas, negotiator for Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi'Kmaq Chiefs, Kermit deGooyer of the Ecology Action Centre, and John MacDonell, NDP Agriculture critic to address the native rights and forestry situation in Nova Scotia. The event will be held at 7pm in room 105 of the Weldon Law Building at Dalhousie University. Moderated by Jane Kansas. Sponsored by the Nova Scotia Public Interest Research Group and the Aboriginal Law Students Association.
