CBC – Cape Breton University is seeking funding from the federal and Nova Scotia governments to build a Centre for Discovery and Innovation, a modern research and instructional facility, including the Marshall Institute which would focus its work on environmental justice and Indigenous approaches to climate change. The institute, named after Donald Marshall Jr., the Mi’kmaw man who won the “moderate living fishing” dispute with the federal government in 1999 will proceed with or without the new building. “I think we’re going to have some really valuable conversations that will advance our understanding of environmental justice and Indigenous approaches to climate change, and hopefully start to make some progress on those things through those dialogues, through advocacy, through policy change,” said Janice Tulk, a senior researcher in the university’s development department.
