On today’s Viewpoints, we’ll spend a lot of time on the east and west coast:

2024 will mark the 25th anniversary of the Marshall decision. That’s when the Supreme Court of Canada affirmed the hunting, fishing and gathering rights promised to New Brunswick’s Indigenous peoples, should be respected. A LGBTQ+ organization receives funding to build the first transitional two spirited housing project in Halifax. The invasive green crab is threatening native ecosystems in the Salish Sea, off the B.C. coast. A local project, set up to protect marine life, expands on Cortes Island. And the Food Sharing Project says food insecurity is at an all time high in the Kingston region. The organization wants more funding from Ottawa.
