"These really contentious plans will give free rein to large polluters, put nature and species at risk, limit public participation and keep Canadians in the dark about the impacts to their health and safety. It's a huge abdication of responsibility from the feds."

Color photograph of Canadian clinical psychologist and Indigenous rights advocate Brenda Reynolds delivering an address at the United Nations General Assembly. Standing behind a wooden lectern equipped with dual microphones, she gestures gently with her right hand raised, her facial expression warm yet focused as she speaks. She is wearing a sleeveless dark blue dress adorned with an intricate, circular beaded floral medallion on the chest, a thick white patterned necklace, and a colorful beaded bracelet on her wrist. The backdrop features the iconic, textured green marble wall of the UN hall, providing a stark, authoritative contrast to her presence. The natural lighting and balanced composition highlight her centered pose, evoking a powerful mood of dignity, resilience, and historic triumph as she accepts the 2025 UN Nelson Mandela Prize for her decades of work supporting residential school survivors.
