Your kindness and leadership mean so much, and your recognition helps bring visibility to those of us living with ES and to a community that is too often overlooked.<br>With over 30 proclamations being shared throughout the day, we are filled with gratitude to see this support growing and spreading.<br>The proclamations will be posted throughout the day with the full list last, so we can close the day by honouring where this work began and the people behind it.<br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:#EEEADD\" class=\"has-inline-color\">The Heart Behind These Proclamations<\/mark><\/strong><br>In 2017, I was searching for a place to live that I could physically tolerate\u2014before eventually living in a van on my doctor\u2019s recommendation and then crossing to the USA to live in my van in the desert.<br>During that time, I brought forward research that deeply mattered to both my mom and me. She was serving on a resolution committee, and when I shared it with her, she took it seriously. The committee approved it, and it moved forward to the national level.<br>On the very day she was on her way to submit the resolution, her hip suddenly broke.<br>The hospital was just across the street, and she was rushed to Winnipeg. Even through intense pain, she had already given so much of herself to this work. She was heartbroken that she couldn\u2019t be there to defend it\u2014but I saw how much she had already fought.<br>The committee carried it forward as best they could.<br>After that, I kept going. I did everything I could to see it\u2014or even a piece of it\u2014come to life.<br>Around 2018, I approached several parties, I connected with the Manitoba Green Party and arranged a meeting. From there, with the foundation of my mom\u2019s resolution and the help of Jenel from AANM, we created Petition e-2729 and brought it to the House of Commons.<br>In November 2020, with support from Roberta Bradley, a version of that work\u2014still rooted in my mom\u2019s original resolution\u2014came very close to passing and was advanced into a workshop.<br>At the same time, I had been holding onto another idea\u2014proclamations.<br>When I approached Marg Friesen from EHA Manitoba, she didn\u2019t hesitate. She said, \u201cLet\u2019s do it.\u201d<br>We drafted a proclamation based on my mom\u2019s original resolution, using others as reference, and sent it out to more than 150 mayors and provinces across Canada.<br>Throughout all of this, my mom was living with chemical sensitivities and mold-related illness that went undiagnosed.<br>As she was preparing to move\u2014because she could no longer tolerate her home\u2014she developed pneumonia. After a failed thoracentesis, she passed away.<br>Watching her suffer without answers was incredibly hard.<br>Sitting beside her before she passed, and before we had to make the decision for a DNR, I made a promise\u2014that I would carry this forward. That somehow, her resolution would live on.<br>Today, there are over 30 proclamations from mayors across Canada.<br>But this isn\u2019t the end of the story.<br>There are still countless people living with chemical and electrical sensitivities and mold-related illness\u2014still searching for safe housing, still going undiagnosed, still being dismissed.<br>This work is not finished.<br>If this story moves you, don\u2019t just read it\u2014please act on it.<br>Please share it. Talk about it. Bring it into your communities. Push for recognition, for safer spaces, for change.<br>No one deserves this silence. No story\u2014including my mom\u2019s\u2014should fade unheard.<br>Together, we ensure they\u2019re heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"553\" height=\"553\" fetchpriority=\"low\" src=\"https:\/\/marieleblanc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2685.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marieleblanc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2685.jpeg 553w, https:\/\/marieleblanc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2685-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/marieleblanc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2685-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 553px) 100vw, 553px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image: Dorothy LeBlanc The Heart Behind the  Proclamations<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><br><strong><mark style=\"background-color:#EEEADD\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Science That Made This Possible<\/mark><\/strong><br>This year marks a historic milestone in Ottawa, where Dr. Meg Sears\u2014author of The Medical Perspective on Environmental Sensitivities for the Canadian Human Rights Commission\u2014received an official proclamation recognizing environmental sensitivities.<br>Years ago, Dr. Sears delivered one of Canada\u2019s first comprehensive medical overviews of ES, moving it from the margins into science and human rights policy.

I was raised mostly in Tokyo, although Pepsi transferred us to a suberb of Montreal for three and a half lovely years. I include this here because living outside of your native country influences a person profoundly. Culturally it&#8217;s an incredible experience, but can also be very challenging, as you lack a true native identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Music was and is my constant. My mother was an accomplished pianist and string player, and an amazing composer. She played her Steinway a lot when I was growing up, and introduced all four of her daughters to music at a young age, all of us singing in harmonies and taking music lessons. After two years of piano lessons, I knew I just wanted to write and sing and play songs that resonate with my creative flow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also knew at age four after performing on the ship to Japan that performing is my passion, especially with other strong singers like my sisters and now my kids. I sang in choirs and musicals and at university received my degree in vocal performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All my life, I&#8217;ve expressed my joys, my pains and my beliefs through my songs, and professionally recorded about a dozen of my fifty plus compositions. Now in my mid sixties, living in southern Vermont, I am working on a musical and dramatic presentation of what it&#8217;s like to live with the daunting condition that is Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, with some humor in there as well. It&#8217;s been slow going, but I intend to finish the project after I move in 2026-27. Take Me Home is one of the songs in this endeavor, which I need to re-record when I am able. I also wrote a song about our beloved Earth which is not yet recorded, as it requires more than just myself in its presentation. It is called This Lovely Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out Heather\u2019s song The&nbsp;<em>Winds of Vermont<\/em>: <br><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/BxEp-6v_ja0\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/BxEp-6v_ja0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-twentytwentyone-separator-thick\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Day 6 Featured Musician Paul D.

The story is about a magical woman who becomes sick when her seal skin is stolen, and she can only become whole again by returning to the Ocean, her true nature. This song urges her to return to herself, to Nature, and is itself composed to feature a meditative ambience of healing sounds. I feel it&#8217;s a fitting song for MCS because in order to be healthy we have to live in a more natural way than others, without a lot of the products that are considered to be normal.

Laffin&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Julie Laffin was an artist doing public spectacle performances in Chicago when she became disabled by environmental illness.&nbsp;Her condition forced her to reconsider her environment and the materials she was using, along with her working methods.<br><br>In 2005, she turned the camera on herself as a means of breaking the barrier of invisibility that comes with an extremely isolating illness. She has slowly been developing two bodies of photographic work since that time: one that focuses on her body in the larger environment and another that captures the details of her daily life while being largely homebound in northern Illinois.<br><br>Using collaborative strategies such as remote interactions and surrogacy tactics, she has been able to continue her work. Making trips to pristine, remote &nbsp;places in the American Southwest, she has been able to work with materials that do not trigger her symptoms: soil, grass, mud, rocks. Joining forces with friends who are artists has enabled her to remain active and continue to be a part of an artistic community. Clover Morell, Melinda Honn, Julie Genser, Stephen Scott-Bottoms, Trevor Martin and Jennifer Natalya Fink have been instrumental in this cause.<br><br>In addition to numerous performances in Chicago and the midwest, Laffin&#8217;s work has been shown in New York at Franklin Furnace Archive, The Streetwise Festival of Live Art in Glasgow, Scotland, the New Art Gallery in Walsall, England, The Prague Quadrennial, The Dutch Theatre Festival, Kings College, London and the Jakarta Biennale #14, 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Julie Laffin website: <a
