Beyond Attitude Consulting acknowledges we operate in Mi’kma’ki – the unceded territory and ancestral homeland of the Mi’kmaq First Nation. Our relationship is based on a series of Peace and Friendship treaties between the Mi’kmaq First Nation and the Crown, dating from 1725 to 1779. In 1999 the Supreme Court of Canada, in R v Marshall, upheld the 1752 treaty “which promised Indigenous Peoples the right to hunt and fish their lands and establish trade.”
We also acknowledge that we work and play in many unceded territories and ancestral homelands of Indigenous Peoples across North America, and respect the rights and traditions of the many First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples therein.
We are all Treaty People.
Shutting out Invaders in BC
I am having a great time meeting a large group of people from all across the province who have gathered in Vancouver for the 2012 Invasive Species Council of British Columbia (ISCBC) (http://bcinvasives NULL.ca/) Conference.
It was exciting to be one of two keynote speakers yesterday. I spoke on how Community-based Social Marketing can be used to curb the spread of invasive species. I will be working with ISCBC and 13 regional committees across the province on an exciting and innovative behaviour change program they are developing for a rollout this spring and summer. More details later.
In the meantime, if you want to read what I had to say yesterday, here is the presentation in pdf form (http://www NULL.beyondattitude NULL.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/ChangingBehaviourtoPreventInvasiveSpecies_PDF NULL.pdf). I am told that the ISCBC will have all of the presentations from the conference on their website later. There have been excellent presentations, I am learning a lot!
