This year’s MSSTA MTS PD Day was delivered in partnership with Educators for Climate Action Manitoba (ECAMB). ECAMB is a group of Manitoba educators who are passionate about climate action. They promote climate action through advocacy, professional development, and developing a professional community among educators. ECAMB aims to empower and support educators implementing climate action in their classrooms, schools, and communities. Our keynote speaker was Clayton Thomas-Müller, a member of the Treaty #6 based Mathias Colomb Cree Nation and author of national best seller “Life in the City of Dirty Water”.

Thomas-Müller has campaigned across Turtle Island (North America) to support Indigenous Peoples in defending their territories against the fossil fuel industry, including Canada’s oil sands and pipelines. His activism has garnered him recognition as a Climate Hero by “Yes” Magazine, as well as being featured as one of ten international human rights defenders in the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. Climate change has had a devastating impact on Indigenous communities and ways of life. In this keynote address,Thomas-Müller discussed climate change and how it has affected the land from an Indigenous perspective. In addition to speaking to the harms and challenges specific to Indigenous peoples and communities, Thomas-Müller shared his perspectives as an Indigenous rights defender and climate action activist, including how educators can inspire and involve students in climate action.
