Who are our lecturers ⁉️
For the Black Lives Matter movement and the health issues that black communities face, we will give you DR. INGRID WALDRON

👩🏾‍🎓🖌📚

Dr. Ingrid Waldron is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Health at Dalhousie University and the Director of the NGO Environmental Noxiousness, Racial Inequities & Community Health Project (The ENRICH Project).

✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

As the Director of the ENRICH Project over the last eight years, Dr. Waldron has been investigating the socio-economic, political, and health effects of environmental racism and other public infrastructure inequalities in Mi’kmaq and African Nova Scotian communities.

💪🏿💪🏾💪🏽💪🏼

The ENRICH Project formed the basis to Dr. Waldron’s first book There’s Something in the Water: Environmental Racism in Indigenous and Black Communities, which received the 2020 Society for Socialist Studies Errol Sharpe Book Prize and the 2019 Atlantic Book Award for Scholarly Writing.

📚📖🎖🏆🥇

The 2020 Netflix documentary There’s Something in
the Water is based on Dr. Waldron’s book and was co-produced by Waldron, actors Elliot Page, Ian Daniel, and Julia Sanderson.

🎥📽🎞🖥

The ENRICH Project also formed the basis to the creation of the provincial private members bill An Act to Address Environmental Racism (Bill 111), which was introduced in the Nova Scotia Legislature on April 29, 2015, and the federal private members bill a National Strategy to Redress Environmental Racism (Bill C-230), which was introduced in the House of Commons on February 26, 2020 and moved to second reading on
December 3, 2020.

**** UPDATED FORM ****
Hi everyone!
In keeping with student initiatives across Canada, let's support Montreal’s healthcare workers during the COVID19 outbreak. You’ll find a survey link below, where you can sign up for different tasks to help out healthcare workers across Montreal. Show solidarity with our healthcare community!

https://form.jotform.com/icubridgeprogram/MTLstudentCOVIDinitiative

fine print: You will be matched to assist one healthcare worker only, to maintain social distancing measures as much as possible. If you have returned from overseas you must self-isolate for 14 days, and if you present with any symptoms you must respect public health guidelines. As public health guidelines continue to develop, recall that these must be respected.
