<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm">VOW and WILPF-Canada sent urgent letters to the Governor General Mary Simon and President of the Inuit Circumpolar Council about our concern that the Trudeau government and the Department of National Defence (DND)
are planning a massive militarization of the Arctic region for NORAD and NATO. The cost for NORAD modernization is $38.6 billion. The placement of new fighter jets, attack helicopters, warships, armed drones and military bases will cause adverse climate and
environmental impacts. The militarization of the north will also cause harm to Inuit communities. We need to make the Arctic a zone of peace, cooperate with all countries including Russia on the climate crisis and protect Indigenous peoples and Arctic wildlife.
We also stood with our new banner outside of Parliament, the U.S. Embassy and Rideau Hall, the Governor General’s office.
