Government of Canada supports six new research projects to explore impacts of plastic pollution on Indigenous communities.

Dr. Max Liboiron (Geography) is mentioned as being one of six project heads receiving a portion of $2.4 million in research funding from the federal government to help deepen our understanding of the social, cultural and economic impacts of plastic pollution on Indigenous communities.

"Through this investment, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada is proud to support Indigenous-led and co-led research that brings together social sciences, humanities, and Indigenous Knowledge systems to better understand the far-reaching impacts of plastic pollution." — Sylvie Lamoureux
