In a first, a  river in the Canadian province of Quebec has been granted the designation of a “legal person” by the city council. Magpie River, which flows for a stretch of 120 miles in the Cote Nord region, was in February, granted the special designation by Innu Council of Ekuanitshit. The river has been at the heart of the region’s Innu community, which backed the move highlighting that it has given them an additional tool to protect the waterbody.
