Today, we honour and remember the Indigenous women, girls, gender-diverse, and 2-Spirit people who continue to go missing and are murdered at an alarming and disproportionate rate. Marine monitoring has become a new form of protection in the face of increased TMX tanker traffic, which has risen from four ships per month to over 30, as well as other vessels crossing our territorial waters. These waters carry more than tankers and ships; they hold the safety of our communities. By monitoring these waters, we help safeguard our lands and people—especially women, girls, and gender-diverse individuals. On this National Day of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Gender Diverse People (MMIWG2S+), we highlight the connection between protecting our waters and protecting our people and communities. #SistersInSpirit #MMIWG2S
New Circle on MMIWG2S+ and Resource Development Today, Oct.4, 2024, at the Musqueam Cultural Centre in Vancouver, from 9 am - 12:30 pm with media interviews at 12:00 pm.
IAMC-TMX LINE WIDE GATHERING 2024 The Indigenous Caucus of the Indigenous Advisory and Monitoring Committee for the Trans Mountain Expansion Project and existing pipeline (IAMC-TMX) will be hosting its seventh annual Line Wide Gathering in-person on November 12-15, 2024. As the Trans Mountain pipeline enters the post construction phase, we find ourselves at a point of transition. We invite you to join us at the 2024 Line Wide Gathering to help us envision how the Indigenous Advisory and Monitoring Committee (IAMC) can best be of service to you going forward.
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.
