MSSC Comments on Orca Study

December 19, 2023/IAMC-TMX/

The latest study on Orca populations in British Columbia has revealed alarming findings – these majestic creatures are absorbing toxins from wildfires and oil spills, impacting their health and survival. The research, published in Scientific Reports, found high levels of toxic PAHs in muscle and liver samples of Bigg’s and southern resident Orca’s. Lead investigator Juan José Alava warns that Orca’s are serving as an early warning system for the harmful effects of pollution on marine life, emphasizing the urgent need for environmental action. This groundbreaking study sheds light on the devastating impact of human activities on these iconic marine animals and the delicate balance of our oceans.

On May 05, the IAMC-TMX is observing Red Dress Day, also known as the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and Two-Spirit People (MMIWG2S). The IAMC-TMX Socioeconomic Subcommittee is collaborating with Natural Resources Canada, the lead department for UNDA Action Plan Measure 12, to better understand and respond to the ongoing gendered and racialized violence against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ people associated with the resource sector. On this important day, we encourage all Canadians to continue educating themselves about the MMIWG Calls for Justice and support MMIWG events in their local area.
