The Environment and Remedial Works Department is excited to host participants in Ouje-Bougoumou for three days of Cree climate action! Following the success of our pilot forum in 2018, it is our hope to further advance the climate conversation in Eeyou Istchee by...
- Exploring innovative approaches to climate change adaptation
- Highlighting successful community-driven projects and strategies, and
- Discussing leadership models and collaborative strategies for impactful change.

With diverse participation from Land Users, Youth, Elders, Community representatives, local organizations, and government entities, discussions between the 150 expected participants are sure to be empowering and productive.
