  • Sheila Watt-Cloutier
    My Name is Sheila Watt-Cloutier. I was born in Kuujjuaq in Arctic Canada where I lived traditionally, travelling only by dogteam, for the first ten years of my life. I now live in Iqaluit, the Capital of the Northern Canadian Territory of Nunavut. I am here today to talk to you about how global warming and climate change are affecting the basic survival in many vulnerable regions and, in particular, of indigenous cultures throughout the Americas. Of course, what I know best is from my own region -- the Arctic, which happens to be the hardest hit by climate change. As such, many of the impacts that I will refer to will come from my own homelands. However, you can consider similar impacts on most indigenous peoples who remain integrated with their ecosystems. Inuit and other indigenous peoples continue to be an integral part, and not separate, from the ecosystems in which we live. Climate change brings into question the basic survival of indigenous people and indigenous cultures throughout the Americas. To borrow and quote the words of the Hon. Julian Hunte, Ambassador and permanent representative of Saint Lucia to the United Nations: "[…]the adverse impacts of climate change are real, immediate and devastating." While time is short, I will give some insight into the impacts of global warming and climate change on indigenous peoples within the Hemisphere. Extreme weather events In our region, Elders say that the weather is Uggianaqtuq -- meaning it behaves unexpectedly, or in an unfamiliar way. Last month, we had record breaking winds in Iqaluit that tore roofs off buildings and homes.

  • New Bus Line Service Chisasibi – Val-D'or
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEW BUS LINE SERVICE CHISASIBI – VAL-D’OR Chisasibi and Val-d’Or, Wednesday, 2016 June first - Chisasibi Business Development Group (CBDG) and Autobus Maheux are pleased to announce their new partnership which is for the establishment of a regular bus service in the territory of James Bay with routes to and from Chisasibi and Val-d’Or. This bus service will be offered twice a week and will serve the community of Chisasibi and all Cree communities of James Bay territory, with a bus stop at each intersection on the James Bay highway connecting each Cree community. The Cree population is growing and year after year the travel needs are becoming more important. The needs are related to health, education, and recreational purposes. This new bus service will provide the communities with a new option for their transport which will be regular, reliable, safe and affordable. FIRST DEPARTURE FROM VAL-D’OR: JUNE 8th, 2016 AT 8:00 AM FIRST DEPARTURE FROM CHISASIBI: JUNE 9th, 2016 AT 8:00 AM A need was expressed for many years The idea of setting up a transport bus service was initiated several years ago. Approximately 15 years ago, the five coastal communities had a meeting with Autobus Maheux to discuss the potential bus project. Furthermore, a feasibility study was conducted in 2009 without any real results for the establishment of the service. However, during the Economic Mission in September 2015 which was organized by the Secretariat to the Cree Nation Abitibi-Témiscamingue Economic Alliance, a meeting was held between CBDG and Autobus Maheux.
