Aamjiwnaang First Nation is asking the Ontario government to work together to improve environmental conditions in the community.
A delegation of First Nation members, including Chief Janelle Nahmabin, was in Toronto for a rally at Queen’s Park on Thursday morning.
Multiple speakers voiced their concerns about the ongoing state of emergency, declared in April, and the impacts of pollution on the community as a whole.
While high levels of benzene emissions prompted the recent emergency, the First Nation said there are other harmful pollutants present.
