On June 21, 2017, the summer solstice and National Aboriginal Day, Turtle Lodge Elders and representatives from the Original Nations lit a sacred fire at Manitou Api. The flame was brought to Winnipeg, where Elder Dave Courchene lit the Centennial Flame at the Manitoba Legislative Building. It will burn for one year, inspiring the province and nation.

This sacred flame launched the 2017 Canada Games torch run in Manitoba and later lit the Games' cauldron.

A video for the Canada Games was created by Patrick Roberge, PRP Inc. Acknowledgements go to the Elders for their vision and to Barry Mathers for his hard work with the Canada Games and Turtle Lodge.

Beyond Plastics recently hosted a news conference to address the New York State Assembly's failure to pass the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act (PRRIA). President Judith Enck led the discussion, joined by Monique Fitzgerald (Brookhaven Landfill Action and Remediation Group), Renae Kimble (NAACP Niagara Falls, NY), and Blair Horner (NYPIRG).

Speakers highlighted the serious implications of the Assembly's inaction, especially amid increasing federal rollbacks on climate, environmental, and public health protections. They also criticized the aggressive lobbying tactics by plastics and chemical industries, which contributed to the Assembly allowing the session to end without acting on this critical legislation.

American democracy often excludes youth, despite public policy significantly impacting their lives. Young people possess powerful, dynamic voices ready to contribute to policymaking. It's time to challenge negative perceptions and redefine inclusivity to ensure youth are fully represented.

Amanda Schuerman, an 18-year-old community activist from Gilbert, Arizona, exemplifies this call for change. She serves as Southwest Regional Director for March For Our Lives and Captain of her Speech and Debate team, planning a career in nonprofit law.
