Quebec’s Magpie River first in Canada to be granted personhood
 Quebec is the first Canadian province to join a global movement – particularly active in New Zealand, the U.S. and Ecuador – that recognizes the rights of nature and grants personhood to rivers.

Côte-Nord’s nearly 300-km long Magpie River, ranked among the 10 best rivers in the world for whitewater rafting, was granted legal personhood by the Muteshekau-shipu Alliance last month.
 

Although there is technically no recognition in Canadian law, resolutions from the Innu Council of Ekuanitshit and the Minganie Regional County Municipality grant the river nine rights in partnership with the International Observatory on the Rights of Nature in Montreal.

One of the resolutions says the river can be represented by “guardians” appointed by the regional municipality.
