CARRIED 4.0 Business Arising from the Minutes i. Michelle Leigh reviewed the locations and funding for the Indigenous Student Advisors: There are currently eight Student Advisors for our nine secondary schools; the new model is more a “coaching model” with ISAs assigned to schools – some funded directly (Wahgoshig FN for IFSS & JHK and Timiskaming FN for TDSS & KLDCS); some are funded by Ministry funding for re-engagement for Indigenous students (Kap & KLDCS); and for Cochrane, funding is via the Education Services Agreement. Each ISA works closely with school staff to support and enhance student achievement. ii. Native studies courses offered by DSB1 include 3 courses: Aboriginal Peoples & Beliefs (gr. 9-10 overview & cultural values –with Ministry working on new curriculum); Gr. 11 Literature course (essential /college); Aboriginal Beliefs (gr. 11 essential or college levels); these are offered at THVS, COCH, KLDCS, TDSS and sometimes IFSS. Lisa Innes then updated IPAC on the revised Indigenous curriculum coming out in Fall of 2018. The emphasis will be on history before European settlers arrived – the Board-wide roll-out of the new curriculum will be in June with Lynn McNaughton (Vice Principal of Curriculum). MOVED by S. Porter, seconded by A. Chasle, THAT IPAC receive the report and update on Indigenous Student Advisors and Native Studies courses offered. CARRIED 5.0 Agenda Items Submitted: i. Pilot Project to educate students (Mylon Ollila, Executive Director, Wahgoshig FN): Mylon reviewed the problems experienced by Wahgoshig students, noting they are not unique and wondering if there is a future if kids are not engaged and not graduating (problems include bussing of up to 1.5 hrs which has marginalized many of their kids as “outsiders” with little success; also there is a feeling that teachers are not taking time to invest in them); Wahgoshig came to conclusion that if want to change to be effective and dynamic, they would have to take control of their education priorities and delivery of programming; With a pilot project in September, supported by a DSB1 partnership, this may become a reality – 5-6 high school students will be educated at Wahgoshig; Indigenous Peoples Advisory Committee Meeting 2018 03 20 – Minutes Page 3 Eventually they are looking to educate all their students at Wahgoshig & deliver own curriculum to meet Ontario standards while maintaining cultural and academic relevancy; Wahgoshig will now focus on 2 pillars of approach: i. 1st pillar: looking within at cultural appropriateness (elders’ knowledge – teach language & history, with much hands-on) with qualified teacher and will also deliver core Ontario courses with equal weight on cultural, historical and problem-solving, “soft” skills; ii. 2nd pillar is not looking to local schools to build model as they are too limited, but looking internationally to build a model – they met with Finland’s embassy members, resulting in upcoming trip to Finland to meet and partner with Helsinki education experts and resource people with the plan to build on and apply lessons from innovative Finland education system of engagement and student success; looking to launch in Wahgoshig in Sept 2018 (initially for a few secondary students) Mylon thanked the IPAC for opportunity to share our news with communities & DSB1; Howard asked that Mylon keep us updated on their initiatives and progress! ii. Student Success (Margaret Edwards, Wahgoshig FN): Expression of concern re student success with IFSS student(s) in SAL programs –requested possibility of having someone come to Wahgoshig monthly to assist with courses; Noted that they have not seen the attendance counsellor and Claudette in community since September; Michelle Leigh will follow up with Margaret re: school scheduling and SAL students With Indigenous Student Advisors in both IFSS & JHK, Margaret noted that there have been no monthly reports to her from them – she has requested from principals, but not rec’d to date (M. Leigh will follow up) iii. Education Service Agreements (Margaret Edwards) Mentioned that it was signed (per Pearl)… but nothing signed for tuition agreements – got a copy from Board… but it was not signed; L. Dye will follow-up with Superintendent of Finance and Business, Pearl Fong-West, to ensure they get a signed copy MOVED by S. Porter, seconded by A. Chasle, THAT IPAC receive the above reports. CARRIED 6.0 Update by Indigenous Lead, Lisa Innes (refer to handout) and reviewed topics, including updates on: i. Collaborative Inquiry ii. Mental Health & Well-being iii. Indigenous Student Advisors iv. Forum at Northern College – including NHL players – Nolan brothers from Garden River Indigenous Peoples Advisory Committee Meeting 2018 03 20 – Minutes Page 4 v.

MOVED by L. Chokomolin, seconded by R. Pochopsky, that the update be received. CARRIED 8.0 Update by Communities & Partners i. Arline Chasle (Timiskaming FN): Now in Phase 2 of expanding our school as pop growing; In partnership with Leaning Bird (Montreal), with a history of the community developed for gr.6-8 (25 lessons); Audrey presented a report on programming and student success, with highlights including: o Started with 36 TFN students at TDSS; o Attendance has improved greatly – incentive awards for attendance and academic achievement; bursary at graduation for post secondary; o Number of suspensions are down; o Career fair was very successful; o Gr. 12 & adult ed students have access to a vast array of support and workshops to ensure success and assist transitioning; o One concern is the

  • (De Beers, Or the Proponent) Has Identified a Diamond
    VICTOR DIAMOND PROJECT Comprehensive Study Report 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project Overview and Background De Beers Canada Inc. (De Beers, or the Proponent) has identified a diamond resource, approximately 90 km west of the First Nation community of Attawapiskat, within the James Bay Lowlands of Ontario, (Figure 1-1). The resource consists of two kimberlite (diamond bearing ore) pipes, referred to as Victor Main and Victor Southwest. The proposed development is called the Victor Diamond Project. Appendix A is a corporate profile of De Beers, provided by the Proponent. Advanced exploration activities were carried out at the Victor site during 2000 and 2001, during which time approximately 10,000 tonnes of kimberlite were recovered from surface trenching and large diameter drilling, for on-site testing. An 80-person camp was established, along with a sample processing plant, and a winter airstrip to support the program. Desktop (2001), Prefeasibility (2002) and Feasibility (2003) engineering studies have been carried out, indicating to De Beers that the Victor Diamond Project (VDP) is technically feasible and economically viable. The resource is valued at 28.5 Mt, containing an estimated 6.5 million carats of diamonds. De Beers’ current mineral claims in the vicinity of the Victor site are shown on Figure 1-2. The Proponent’s project plan provides for the development of an open pit mine with on-site ore processing. Mining and processing will be carried out at an approximate ore throughput of 2.5 million tonnes/year (2.5 Mt/a), or about 7,000 tonnes/day. Associated project infrastructure linking the Victor site to Attawapiskat include the existing south winter road and a proposed 115 kV transmission line, and possibly a small barge landing area to be constructed in Attawapiskat for use during the project construction phase.
