The Asubpeeschoseewagong First Nation has taken important steps forward in its quest for mercury justice, with support from three political visitors this fall.

Federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh and NDP critic for Indigenous Youth Charlie Angus met with the community’s chief and council to discuss the affects of mercury poisoning on the reserve, and how the party intends to do a full clean up of the land and water if brought into power in the 2019 election.
