Winnipeg Airports Authority Inc. v. Public Service Alliance of Canada, et al., 2016 CanLII 18757 (SCC), [Leave refused]

I am fortunate to live and work on ancestral lands, on Treaty One Territory, the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg, Ininew, Anisininew, Dakota, and Denesuline peoples, and the homeland of the Red River Métis and that my work can take me to other traditional and treaty lands. The water I consume comes from Shoal Lake, in Treaty 3 Territory, for which I am thankful. There is much work to be done but with patience and persistence I’m confident that together we, and our children, and their children for seven generations will succeed in realizing our shared land’s full potential.
