Jul 14, 2015
Premiers from almost every province and territory in Canada are converging in Labrador Tuesday, with an agenda that emphasizes aboriginal issues.
Also on the agenda is a tour on Tuesday of the Muskrat Falls hydroelectric megaproject, which is under construction outside Happy Valley-Goose Bay.
The premiers are meeting with leaders from different aboriginal groups, including officials from the Assembly of First Nations, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples, the Métis National Council and the Native Women’s Association of Canada.
The sessions will give those leaders a chance to put Labrador issues front-and-centre on the national stage.
