Responding to the call to uphold our commitment to protecting the waters of our mother earth -- with Dr. Debby Wilson Danard
Anishinaabekwe Ojibway, sturgeon clan member of Manitou Rapids, Rainy River First Nations in Northwestern Ontario.

Becoming a Blue Community -- with Paul Baines (CSJ Blue Communities Coordinator)
Water is Life. Water is Sacred. Protect the Sacred. These short appeals have gone from the margins to the mainstream in recent years, thanks to the leadership of Indigenous woman and a growing movement of allies from all walks of life. Adding to their legacy of healing and lifting up the most vulnerable, the CSJ is the first religious order and the first non-governmental organization to adopt the Blue Communities pledge. Looking into the future, we now ask: why is it important to protect water as a human right, a shared commons, and a sacred gift? Paul will present on the need for this Blue Community and some steps forward on our water journey.
