In February 2025 Just Waters and the Centre for Human Rights Research hosted a panel on the topic, “Water Justice is Menstruation Justice: A Conversation with Co-Resistors.” We were honored to open the event with a Water & Tobacco Ceremony with Knowledge Keepers Ramona Milliea and Bill Milliea.

Following a presentation from Veronica Brown of Moon Time Connections, a panel discussion moderated by Chrstine Cyr (University of Manitoba) and Dr. Lisa Smith (Douglas College) explored the intersection of water justice and menstruation justice in Canada. Panelists included Emma Cowman (University of Manitoba), Alicia Horton (Douglas College), and Janessa Roy (MTC).

A graphic recording of the discussion was created by Roxanne Balan.
