A groundbreaking law takes effect Saturday June 18, 2011 which allows people living on reserves to seek protection under the Canadian Human Rights Act if

they feel they have faced discrimination by their band council. In an interview, Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Dun-can described the change as a significant shift which finally provides to aboriginals the same human rights protections that have been provided to Canadians.

"It's a big deal. It should be celebrated. We are in-cluding First Nations people in society on the same basis as everyone else. So it's hugely important." Moreover, Duncan had a direct message for band councils and aboriginal groups that have expressed concerns about the change — which was passed into law in 2008 but only takes effect now after a grace period. "We all face change in our lives," said Duncan. "The business communities have to deal with lots of change. People have had to deal with lots of change.

The world is an unstable place. This is just some-thing to be accommodated. There's no downside to treating people with respect. This is common sense. There's nothing mystical or magical about this. It's a basic building block of respecting human rights." As of Saturday, any decisions or actions taken by

band councils and the federal government, made un-der the Indian Act, will be subject to the Canadian Human Rights Act. Assembly of First Nations National Chief Shawn Atleo called on the federal government Thursday to ensure enough funds are supplied to implement the shift.

"First Nations fully support human rights and want to continue to work with the federal government to en-sure our governments and citizens have the appro-priate supports to effectively work through this change," he said in a written statement.

"Currently, First Nations lack the capacity and re-sources to effectively implement the changes," he said noting that many aboriginals have voiced con-cern about how the new human-rights protections will affect local services, lands and facilities. For in-stance, he said public buildings and housing owned by First Nations will need to "meet the needs" of the physically disabled.

"Clear commitments must be made in order for First Nations to be in a position to ensure respect for hu-man rights."

When the Canadian Human Rights Act was introduced in 1977, it included a clause — section 67 — which essentially exempted people on reserves from using the protections of the act if they felt they had experi-enced discrimination by the federal government or band councils.

The exemption was adopted as a temporary measure while discussions were under way with native groups about possible reforms to the Indian Act. Over the years, there were failed legislative attempts to change it and Canada came under criticism in various reports — including from the United Nations — for its unfair human rights treatment of aboriginals. When Parliament repealed the exemption in 2008, the change immediately kicked in for any complaints against the federal government. But a three-year transition phase was allowed for First Nations to pre-pare for the adjustment.

The repeal won support from some natives, notably women who felt they have faced discrimination by band councils. But many aboriginal leaders raised ob-jections, citing the impact repeal would have on their collective rights and their ability to cope with the fi-nancial costs of rulings stemming from discrimination complaints.

Some argued that freedom from discrimination is in-compatible with aboriginal collective rights and inter-ests. Others took the view that First Nations are sov-ereign and should not be governed by any federal or provincial laws.

Duncan said the governing Tories decided they would not bend to the opposition. "To us this is a human rights provision and it's not really negotiable." He said he doesn't think band councils will be deluged

with human rights complaints, noting that there have been 20 complaints against the federal government in the last three years and that not all of those are related to the change in the Act. "We can never predict with a high degree of reliability on some of these things. But the evidence would sug-gest that they will not be swamped. And if they are, well then we'll have to look at how to respond."

Minister Duncan and National Chief Atleo Launch Engagement

Process for First Nation Elementary and Secondary Education Source: Postmedia News

The federal government and the Assembly of First Nations have appointed an advisory panel to examine

how to improve education for aboriginal students and keep them in school longer. The announcement was made Tuesday at an event attended by Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Duncan and AFN national Chief Shawn Atleo. The move is in connection with a "joint action plan" announced earlier this month by the Harper govern-ment and the AFN in which both sides pledged to work together on a wide range of initiatives. The empha-sis will be on improving education, increasing accountability of First Nations governments, boosting First Nations economies, and working on treaty and land claims. On Tuesday, Duncan and Atleo announced that a three-person "national panel" will examine how to im-prove education. They will hold roundtable sessions, visit First Nation schools and conduct meetings with stakeholders across the country, such as First Nation leaders, parents, students, elders and teachers.

"Education is a targeted priority," said Duncan. "Today's announcement is a concrete example of the im-portance of partnership and collaboration." The panel will look at a range of options, including legislation, to improve education for aboriginal students. It will submit its report by the end of this year. The members of the panel are: Scott Haldane, president of YMCA Canada; George Lafond, former chief of the Saskatoon Tribal Council; and Caroline Krause, a nationally recognized aboriginal educator who worked

for the Vancouver School Board as a teacher and administrator. "This engagement focuses on encouraging individuals to offer their input and insights on reforming elemen-tary and secondary education on reserve," said Duncan. Atleo concurred, saying that all First Nations have made education a "top priority." "This panel is an important opportunity to profile what is working and where there are barriers that must be overcome. We encourage all First Nations educators, leaders and families to fully engage." He said the goal is to find ways to "finally deliver sustainable, stable and equitable education enabling our students to succeed." The need for improvements to education on reserves was recently noted in a passionate speech by out-

going auditor general Sheila Fraser. She noted that only 41 per cent of students on reserves graduate from high school, compared to 77 per cent of students in the rest of the country. The engagement process is also designed to allow anyone with an interest and a view on how to improve First Nation elementary and secondary education to participate through a dedicated web-site www.firstnationeducation.ca where participants can post, vote and comment on ideas, and submit and/or read written submissions online. The Panel will report by the end of the 2011 calendar year. To learn more about the engagement process and to make sure your voice is heard, visit http://firstnationeducation.ca

people are buying more products and ultimately creating more waste.

more people on the planet to create waste.

Answers to the Discover what You Know about H 2 0 trivia :

1.False. The amount of water on our planet has been the same for billions of years. The water on Earth keeps recycling. Rain, hail and snow are a part of the never-ending water cycle.

2. False. Each day humans take in and expel an average of 2.4 litres of water. We take in about 1.4 litres in the liquids we drink and about 0.7 litres in what we eat.

3. True. Although not everything dissolve in water, it often referred to as the “universal solvent” because of its ability to dissolve more substances than any other liquid.

4. False. Most fresh water occurs below the Earth’s surface as ground water. The amount of fresh water underground is about 37 times the amount on Earth’s surface.

5. True. Driven by the sun’s energy, water is constantly on the move because of evaporation and condensation.

6. False. Environment Canada estimates that the average Canadian uses 343 litres of treated water daily. Almost half of this goes down the drain. Less than 5% is used for drinking.

7. False. Most liquids including water get smaller when they cool. However when it freezes it expands and becomes less dense. This is why ice cubes float on your soda and pond water freezes from top down.

8. True. Approximately 97% of the water on Earth is salt water and is found in oceans. We cannot drink salt water or use it in agriculture. Of the 3% of fresh water in the world, about 0.1% is readily available as liquid water.

9. False. Canada and the U.S share Lake Superior. The largest fresh water lake is entirely in Canada and it’s Great Bear Lake

located in the Northwest Territories.
