The Ecology Action Centre is appalled and deeply discouraged by the events taking place at the Eisner Cove Wetland. We condemn the actions of the Province, Clayton Developments and the police in destroying the last remaining large wetland in Dartmouth. The acts of state violence against peaceful community members, including a Mi’kmaw Elder who was arrested while asserting her Treaty Rights, was unjustified and deplorable.
Redesigning streets to meet the standards set out in The Centre Plan, The Integrated Mobility Plan,
The Ecology Action Centre (EAC) affirms our support for the inherent right of Mi’kmaq to fish as enshrined in the Peace and Friendship Treaty of 1752[1] and upheld in the Marshall Decision of 1999[2]. Indigenous rights are non-negotiable and must be respected. Mi’kmaw fishers should be able to exercise their right to fish in accordance with Mi’kmaw law without intimidation.
