A new pilot program which will notify the public of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, two-spirit and gender-diverse people is set to be implemented in Manitoba. @_MorganModjeski has the details winnipeg.citynews.ca/video/2024/05/…
Canada and Manitoba are partnering to launch an alert system that would inform the public when an Indigenous woman or girl goes missing. aptnnews.ca/?p=243758
I sat down with women who are working to put an end to the national crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. I heard their pain and saw their drive for a better future. Govt funding has to align with community-based supports—from victim services to prevention.
.@musqueam is a leader in self-governance—a key part of building our nation-to-nation relationship. They’ve put in the hard work, over generations, and now they’re pushing us. I’m committed to reaching agreement so we can keep moving forward and building a brighter future.
Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Gary Anandasangaree says Ottawa is putting $740K towards further studying how to conduct Manitoba landfill search for the remains of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran.
This Wednesday was truly unforgettable as I was sworn in as the Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations and I am incredibly grateful to have had my family by my side. This position holds great significance for me, & I am dedicated to tirelessly advancing reconciliation efforts.

This year on National Indigenous Peoples Day, we started by raising the Survivor’s flag on Parliament Hill with Elders, Survivors, the Right Honourable Mary Simon, Governor General of Canada, and the Prime Minister. #cdnpoli
Today we joined Robinson Huron Treaty leadership, chiefs, elders and youth from 21 First Nations in Northern Ontario the $10 billion annuity settlement of the Robinson Huron Treaty claim, representing the largest treaty settlement in history. #cdnpoli
Statement by the Prime Minister on the first Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day May 18, 2023 Ottawa, Ontario Today, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued a statement recognizing the first Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day, which was unanimously adopted in Parliament last year:
Bill C-21 just passed the House of Commons! This is the most significant gun control legislation in Canada in a generation. Next up: the Senate.
There is no single solution to gun violence. Let’s build safer communities by: 👉 Banning assault-style firearms, which 87% of Canadians support. 👉 Seizing over 1,000 guns at the border, last year alone. 👉 Investing hundreds of millions in law enforcement and prevention
Today is the last day of the 2023 spring legislative session, which was filled with plenty of explosive exchanges and Explodiums. Here are some memorable moments. #bcpoli
You’ve heard me talk a lot about my consultations with Canadians on how to protect communities from gun violence. Today, I want to tell you about some of the hunters, gun control advocates, Indigenous communities and others that I’ve had the opportunity to meet with.👇
Ahead of Vaisakhi later this week, I was honored to be greeted at the Ross Street Gudwara in Vancouver by @sukhdhaliwal and leaders from the community. During this Sikh Heritage Month, we acknowledge and celebrate the contributions of Sikh Canadians and the many more to come.

The Kwanlin Dün First Nation is pioneering innovative, First Nations-led approaches to keep their community safe. It was a privilege to hear about this success - and how we can build on it - from Chief Dorris Bill, Terry Cairns and Gina Nagano and other community members.
Today, @lauracabott and @marcomendicino announced almost a million dollars in crime prevention funding to better understand community needs, and identify programming, recreational, and supportive solutions aimed at helping youth make good choices. bit.ly/3WmYw2T
I just spoke with @stbstvdan to thank him for listening to Inuit. I have had many calls, texts and messages thankful for the rejection of @BaffinlandIrons expansion proposal. The hard work will begin to both protect the environment and ensure a sustainable future.

4K Followers 2K Following Criminal Defence Lawyer | Writer | Organiser | 🌹An honour yesterday to stand beside these strong advocates to announce a Red Dress Alert pilot will be developed in Manitoba, together with Indigenous partners. Thank you, Minister Nahanni Fontaine, Hilda Anderson-Pyrz, Sandra DeLaronde and MP Leah Gazan.
I am honoured to stand with Minister Anandasangaree @gary_srp, Minister Nahanni Fontaine, Hilda Anderson-Pyrz and Sandra DeLaronde to announce that a Red Dress Alert Pilot will be launched in Manitoba.
The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation is a reminder of the deep scars and enduring strength of residential school Survivors. We owe it to every Survivor to listen, learn, and act.
“Even if we’re able to save just one life, it will be worth it” @gary_srp A long time coming and so crucial to have the pilot be launched in Manitoba - the epicentre of the MMIWG crisis. My heart is with all families and advocates today. ❤️🩹
Canada and Manitoba are partnering to launch Red Dress Alert system that would inform the public when an Indigenous woman or girl goes missing, they announced Friday in Winnipeg, ahead of a national day to mark the crisis. #cdnpoli theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

The National Council for Reconciliation Act has officially passed through Parliament, addressing Calls to Action 53-56! With this historic step, we are making meaningful change, moving towards healing, and advancing accountability to the goal of reconciliation.
I connected with National Chief Woodhouse to tell her how outraged I am this incident occurred. Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time ceremonial items have been treated improperly. Everyone should be treated with dignity and respect, and I expect @AirCanada to make this right.
No kid should ever go hungry, in the North, or anywhere in Canada. As part of Budget 2024, I was in Iqaluit to announce a new National School Food Program—a $1B investment to provide meals to 400,000 more kids every year in Indigenous communities, in the North and across Canada.
Kids in North will be helped by new national school food program @gary_srp nunatsiaq.com/stories/articl…
Sit down together, acknowledge systemic inequities and commit to finding a path forward together. This is the right approach taken by the Minister and must be in partnership with First Nations leadership.
I am deeply troubled by the situation that occurred in Shelburne County, NS on March 26 involving the arrest and release of two Mi’kmaw individuals. The allegations brought forward regarding the treatment they both received are simply unacceptable. Over the past few days, my…

The James Smith Cree Nation in Saskatchewan has a new emergency alert system they hope will help prevent incidents like the September 2022 mass stabbing that killed 11 people and seriously injured another 17. youtu.be/pSuCmznB2qo
It was great to knock on doors in Durham over the weekend along with @gary_srp in support of @rrockdurham. On March 4, residents of Durham have the chance to choose a local champion in Robert Rock as their voice in Ottawa.
Thinking of the Indigenous leaders, academics, experts, public servants, and politicians who have fought for a long time to make today happen. This is a win for Indigenous children and for their right to be raised in their communities and culture forever. cbc.ca/news/indigenou…
“By returning these lands and supporting Snuneymux’s vision for development, we are rectifying past injustices and walking the path of reconciliation.”
This weekend in Winnipeg, the police were called for an Indigenous man. He died following that encounter. My heart is with his family right now. Deaths in custody are deeply disturbing and must be thoroughly investigated. They happen too often.
Grateful for the opportunity to ongoingly meet, listen and learn from the members of the National Family and Survivors Circle today. The longstanding crisis against Indigenous women, girls, two-spirit and gender-diverse people must come to an end.
Proud to present my friend Minister @gary_srp with a wonderful Ojibway sweatshirt from @FOOPOjibway in recognition of his work to establish the first ever Rouge National Urban Park - and sharing his wisdom and experience with our community as we build Ojibway National Urban Park.
