Day 1 of #ICASUS brought together Indigenous leaders, experts & policymakers for a powerful dialogue on Arctic sovereignty and climate security. Key message: policy must be community-led, grounded in Indigenous knowledge, and built through co-design—not consultation. 🌍❄️ #CRRIC #IndigenousLeadership

Day 2 of #ICASUS focused on a powerful circle discussion where rapporteurs & elders shared key insights from Day 1 breakouts. The message was clear: Arctic policy must be co-designed with Indigenous communities, grounded in trust, knowledge, and lived realities. 🌍❄️ #CRRIC #IndigenousLeadership

When Violence Echoes Online CBC shows how the Tumbler Ridge attack didn’t end offline—online hate and misinformation surged in its aftermath. 📺 youtube.com/watch?v=hz1SzB… This is exactly what Kawser Ahmed warns about—and why our CANSES‑funded work at @ERIMCanada (erimca.org) focuses on early prevention, educator tools, and counter‑extremism before crisis turns contagious.

As part of this effort, we invite community members to use our free app, Resilience Manitoba, available on the Play Store and App Store. The app helps users identify, document, and report extremist symbols, supporting awareness and early intervention.
