Today, October 22, marks the birthday of Jordan River Anderson, whose life and legacy inspired Jordan’s Principle.
The Chiefs of the North Shore Mi’kmaq Tribal Council are calling on the Government of Canada to urgently address the backlog of Jordan’s Principle requests and uphold its legal obligations to First Nations children.
First Nations children should not have to wait for the care and supports they need.

That's a wrap on the 2026 Atlantic Emergency Management Conference!
Over the past two days in Membertou, we've heard from some incredible speakers and had great conversations about emergency management across Atlantic Canada. This year's theme, Strengthening Roots, reminded us just how important it is to learn from one another and build connections between our communities.
A big thank you to everyone who joined us for AEMC 2026! We're grateful to our speakers for sharing their knowledge and experiences, and to our attendees for taking the time to be part of the conversation.
We'd like to thank the Honourable Kim Masland, Nova Scotia's Minister of Emergency Management, and her team for joining us. We appreciate the Minister taking the time to address our delegates and her continued support for the emergency management work happening on the ground in our communities.
Thank you to our sponsors, Emergency Solutions International, Alertable Canada, Buffalo Computer Graphics, Challenge Surveillance Solutions™, St John Ambulance NS/PEI, Wildfire Resilience Consortium of Canada, and Altitude Emergency Solutions . We're especially grateful to ESI for their support as our Platinum Sponsor, and to Indigenous Services Canada | Services aux Autochtones Canada for funding this year's conference.
