A family shattered and a country in shock. Through education, dialogue and deep listening, we must work together to end ignorance and hate. We cannot stop until there is equity, security and belonging for all. We hold this family in our hearts.

Since 2015, Canada has exported $57M worth of weapons to Israel, including $16M in bomb components.
The ongoing bombing of Gaza, reportedly including civilian sites, should compel Canada to reassess all such Israel-bound arms exports, especially those used in airstrikes.

We congratulate our Sinixt friends and colleagues for their persistence and vision and look forward to continued partnership as we work together for lasting peace.
The Mir Centre celebrates the long-awaited formal acknowledgement of Sinixt Aboriginal rights by the Supreme Court of Canada – a historic step in the direction of justice, equity, and decolonization.
Today, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the rights of the Sinixt (Sn̓ʕay̓čkstx) people under Section 35.1 of Canada’s constitution are affirmed and protected. Read the #SelkirkCollege statement regarding this historic decision: selkirk.ca/news/statement-re…

Feeling great relief that justice has been served with the guilty verdict in the Chauvin trial. Nothing can bring justice to George Floyd but let us hope this verdict marks the beginning of the end to impunity in instances of police brutality. #chauvintrial
