Throughout the Americas, most Indigenous people move through urban areas and make their homes in cities. Yet, the specific issues and concerns facing Indigenous people in cities, and the positive protective factors their vibrant urban communities generate are often overlooked and poorly understood. This has been particularly so under COVID-19 pandemic conditions. In the spring of 2020, the United Nations High Commissioner Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples called for information on the impacts of COVID-19 for Indigenous peoples.

Orangeville resident inspires York University’s Plastic Pickup Challenge
By Sam Odrowski
A local resident’s personal efforts to pick up litter and improve the environment has inspired an online challenge, being hosted by York University.
At the beginning of the month, Hailey Thomas-Squirrell of Orangeville saw that the ditches along Blind Line were filled with litter and decided to clean them up.
After filling two large garbage bags with trash, she sent a photo of them to her professor at Wilfrid Laurier University, Dr. Mark Terry, an environmentalist who also teaches at York, and he was inspired to start the Plastic Pickup Challenge. It’s an official Earth Day event where people are challenged to pick up plastic litter in their community.
