September 23, 2026

QUEEN'S PARK — Ontario Greens Leader Mike Schreiner and Deputy Leader Aislinn Clancy attended the annual Grassy Narrows River Run.

“Greens are proud to stand in solidarity with the people of Grassy Narrows and support their push to hold the province accountable for years of toxic mercury poisoning,” said Clancy.

“Successive provincial governments have ignored the devastating impact of mercury poisoning and left the people of Grassy Narrows waiting far too long for justice. It has jeopardized their health, livelihoods and treaty rights, and it’s long past time to restore justice to the community,” said Schreiner.

“Greens echo the calls of the Grassy Narrows community to:

• Fairly compensate Grassy Narrows for the ongoing mercury poisoning crisis
• End all industrial threats to Grassy Narrows; and
• Support the people of Grassy Narrows in restoring their way of life and wellness from the damage that mercury poisoning has caused.”
