A well-known diplomat and former politician is in Thunder Bay to address climate change at the Auditorium and with professional foresters.

Stephen Lewis arrived in the city Wednesday for a speaking engagement at the Community Auditorium.

Lewis is the former United Nations Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa and feels the world is responding to global warming and climate change with increasing alarm.

While in the city Lewis was also being briefed on the Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug issue and he has added his name to the list of prominent Canadians supporting the six leaders who are serving jail sentences for civil contempt by ignoring a court order to allow a mine exploration company to resume drilling on land the band feels is sacred.

Lewis attends a Climate Change conference in the city on Thursday.
