Welcome to Justice for the Great Lakes Basin! For those who have been following my account since the very beginning of it's appearance on social media, thank you for following along with my journey and continuing to support my project; to my new followers, I'm glad to have you here, thank you for taking the time to support my initiative and expand your own knowledge!
I originally started this account as "Justice for First Nations - GLB" to bring attention to the discrimination and injustice towards Indigenous communities in Ontario; the initial purpose was for a grade 12 independent final project but my passion for the environment and equality has led me to continue my presence on social media to this day. Over the past year, I ran a blog page concerning numerous issues with the York Region Sewage Treatment Plant, and the quality of water that is maintained among our Great Lakes - a major source of water supply for Indigenous communities in Ontario. Unfortunately, the blog page was terminated along with my high school student account, so this is to act as a replacement...that I'm planning to keep permanently! Around the same time, I also created social media platforms on change,org, Instagram, and Twitter -- which I have been active on throughout the whole year.
Having begun university this past year, my hopes to establish a new blogging page was put on the back burner, but my passions for Indigenous rights, water, and our environment has done nothing but grow. Over the course of both semesters I was actively participating in environmental science labs [including water quality testing in the Rouge!] and attending Indigenous learning circles/Calls to Action. By participating in an array of activities during my first year of university I was able to brainstorm many points of interest that I'm ecstatic to begin blogging about for my followers on this page!!
I hope you all look forward to the rebirth of my blogging account, I'm super excited to be back and writing! To continue your support, if not done so already, please take a minute to sign my change.org petition { http://chng.it/Z5PY6VdP } and check out my Instagram { @eco.feminist.ally) and Twitter {@ForGlb}.
