Welcome, June ☀️

With summer just around the corner, June brings longer days, greener landscapes, and more time spent on the land and waters across SON Territory.

Throughout the month, we’ll continue sharing updates, highlighting community events, and supporting important conversations connected to the environment, SON rights and interests, and community priorities. We look forward to staying connected with Members—both online and in community.

Be sure to check back and follow along.

📸 SON Territory Photo Submissions — May 2026 🌿

We received so many beautiful photo submissions this month! These are picture-perfect examples of how SON Territory is full of movement, colour, and life this time of year. From blooming flowers and returning wildlife to changing shorelines, forests, and skies, these photos capture the renewal that comes with spring across the land and waters. 💚

Miigwech to everyone who shared their photos with us this month. Thank you to Laurie Frith, Efrem Sandy, Miriam Johnston, Anne Heath, Caley Doran, and Angie Webber for contributing to this month’s collection.

🌿 Educational Wednesday: Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC)

Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) is recognized in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). It reflects the importance of Indigenous Nations being meaningfully involved in decisions that may impact our lands, rights, and interests.

FPIC means Indigenous Nations should have access to clear information, be engaged before decisions are made, and have the ability to give or withhold consent.

At SON, the Environment Office supports this work by reviewing proposed activities, identifying potential impacts, and helping inform decision-making related to SON Rights and Interests.
