Free webinar: Understanding the Indigenous-led Legal Challenge Against Bills 5 and C-5
7:00 PM - 8:30 PM This is a virtual event
The following is from Nature Canada:
Join us to learn about the legal challenge against both Bill 5 being led by Indigenous communities, and Bill C5 and how you can support.
This free webinar will include a panel discussion from Indigenous rights holders and legal experts about the importance of the legal challenge and how challenging Bills 5 and C-5 in the courts is expected to unfold.
Passed by the Government of Ontario in June 2025, Bill 5 threatens the long-term sustainability and well-being of Ontario. Similarly, the Government of Canada passed Bill C-5 in June 2025, which also threatens Indigenous rights, democratic processes and environmental protections.
