Friendship Accord REPORT MEETING TYPE: Regular Council Meeting TO: Council FROM: Vicki Blanchard, Economic Development Manager DATE: February 15, 2017 SUBJECT: RP-2017-015 - Friendship Accord TITLE: Friendship Accord RECOMMENDATION: THAT Council receives this report as updated information pertaining to the Sioux Lookout Friendship Accord. PURPOSE: The purpose of this report is to advise Council: 1. THAT the Sioux Lookout Friendship Accord continues to be a leader in Municipal Indigenous relations. BACKGROUND: In 2012, the Municipality of Sioux Lookout celebrated the signing of the Sioux Lookout Friendship Accord in partnership with their neighbouring First Nation communities of Lac Seul and Slate Falls. In 2013, the members of the Sioux Lookout Friendship Accord celebrated again the continued growth of the Accord with the signing of an additional member, Cat Lake First Nation. Page 1 of 17 In 2015, Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug (KI) reached out to the Sioux Lookout Friendship Accord members inquiring whether they could join the Accord in efforts to build stronger relations with isolated Far North First Nation communities and shortly thereafter, Mishkeegogamang First Nation expressed an interest in joining the Sioux Lookout Friendship Accord as well. In 2016, the Sioux Lookout Friendship Accord partners recognized that their efforts as group working together on important social and economic issues has led to other opportunities such as; the First Nations-Municipal Community Economic Development Initiative (CEDI), the Ke-ondaatiziying Regional Conference, the Regional Distribution Centre-Northern Logistics Project; the Burden Reduction Project and as of recent the Shared Territory Protocol and Resource Working Group. DISCUSSION: Increased First Nations participation in the local economy and creating economically sustainable communities through the core sectors of forestry, mining, energy, transportation, health and wellness and tourism is front and centre in the Accord Guiding Principles. On March 3, 2017, five First Nation communities (Lac Seul, Slate Falls, Cat Lake Mishkeegogamang, and KI) will gather in Thunder Bay to sign two historical documents; 1) the signing of the 2017 Sioux Lookout Friendship Accord adding the two new signatories (Mishkeegogamang and KI); and 2) the signing of the Shared Territory Protocol (Lac Seul, Mishkeegogamang, Cat Lake and Slate Falls). The Municipality of Sioux Lookout and Township of Pickle Lake are honoured to be invited to participate at this event and to be recognized as part of the Regional Resource Working Group under the Regional Framework Agreement being proposed and developed to address future resource development projects in the Shared Territory Protocol located in the districts of Sioux Lookout and Pickle Lake. RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN: 1.Community Development Continuing to improve our quality of life by recognizing our strong sense of community 2.Regional Competitiveness Our strength as a hub for First Nations communities Page 2 of 17 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Not applicable.

Mitchell, Chief Administrative Officer. Page 4 of 17 Council Minutes Page2 December 16, 2015 • Good progress is being made and project is on track for September 2017 opening. • "Footprint" being prepared. • Detailed design proceeding. • Class C and D cost estimates were received for construction which were a little above the Ministry's expected costs, but it is not a major concern. Further work is being done on the costs. More money may be required for the project. • Should be ready to tender in mid-April; award of contract one month later, i.e. mid- to late May; construction will start as soon as contractor can mobilize. • Showed architect's image of school. Design is consistent with what has been previously shown. Fac;ade will consist of concrete stone, brick, and some wood product panel (veneer), etc. • Reviewed floor plan, i.e. gym, shops, art and music rooms. • There will be space for Firefly and Confederation College. • At this time, the cafeteria will also include a raised stage, and will include the infrastructure for the possibility of being used as an auditorium in the future, i.e. electrical, etc. Lights and sound equipment and retractable seating are a possibility; however, there are no funds for this in the project. This equipment will have to paid for by the community if it's to be installed. 225-250 seats could potentially be accommodated in the room. • The second floor contains labs, classrooms, and support spaces. • Elevation drawings were available. • The project site plan may need to be updated in terms of orientation of main parking lot, but major changes are not anticipated. In response to questions from Council and/or the public, the following information was provided: • Confederation College is almost 100% confirmed to be located in the new school. They have been involved [in the planning of their space]. • There is some room in the design on west side for an addition to accommodate the possibility of increased capacity. Other components may need to be increased, e.g. a block of four classrooms on two levels. • Capacity is 513, funded by the Province. If more, might have to reduce the number of students under tuition grants. The Federal Government doesn't "buy" spaces anymore. Recent discussions with the Federal Government have not taken place as this practice has been in place for many years. • The building is fully accessible. It is three levels, with Firefly and Confederation College planned to be on the top level. There is an elevator and there are ramps between the stories. There is an entrance on each side of the building. • The entrance on the west side from Curtis Street is for service and emergency vehicles only. • The main entrance is from the northwest, off of Third Avenue. • There is a bus drop-off zone. The distance from it to the entrance is approximately 200' maximum. • Access is via level, cleared pathways. • There will be 120 parking spaces in the main lot. There are approximately 48 nearby at Sioux Mountain Public School, and other parking is available, totalling about 200 spaces. This should address the issue of the use of the building (and the proposed auditorium) for evening events. • The retractable seating previously mentioned could be like the seating at "The Centre" in Dryden. Estimated cost of seating is $400,000-$500,000. These would not bleachers, but individual seats. The School Board and the Municipality's Economic Page 5 of 17 Council Minutes Page3 December 16, 2015 Development Manager are working on this. It will be a multi­ functional space. The tables and chairs in the cafeteria would be movable and would be stored if the room was being used as an auditorium. In addition, equipment such as lights, sound system, curtains will also be required, and will likely have to be paid for through fund-raising. Sioux-Hudson Entertainment Series representatives have been discussing this with its funding sources. Government funding may be available. Funding for this portion of the project needs to be "holistic," i.e. community groups need to be involved; leverage money raised, etc. Sioux Lookout has an impressive history of the community coming together to make things like this happen. If it takes longer to raise funds for this portion of the project, the School Board will ensure that the electrical system is enhanced to accommodate the equipment in the future. • Despite some scepticism, the project Architect says that opening will be September 2017. • The "old" High School will be available to community groups, i.e. Sioux Hudson Entertainment Series, etc., until the new site is available. • The building on Wellington Street and Fifth Avenue (owned by the School Board), if no longer required, will go through the required disposal process and would be sold at fair market value. • It is unknown how "usable" the "old" school will be or what long-term plans will be. Noted it was "sinking." The Board may want to sever the playing field for use by Sioux Mountain Public School, the High School and the community. The remainder of the property and the building would have to go through the disposal process. • Not feasible to expedite the tender process as it's pretty tight already. Avoiding the need for "heating and hoarding" during the winter is a consideration as well.

  • Assessing the Influence of First Nation Education Counsellors on First Nation Post-Secondary Students and Their Program Choices
    Assessing the Influence of First Nation Education Counsellors on First Nation Post-Secondary Students and their Program Choices by Pamela Williamson A dissertation submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Higher Education Graduate Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto © Copyright by Pamela Williamson (2011) Assessing the Influence of First Nation Education Counsellors on First Nation Post-Secondary Students and their Post-Secondary Program Choices Doctor of Higher Education 2011 Pamela Williamson Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Education University of Toronto Abstract The exploratory study focused on First Nation students and First Nation education counsellors within Ontario. Using an interpretative approach, the research sought to determine the relevance of the counsellors as a potentially influencing factor in the students‘ post-secondary program choices. The ability of First Nation education counsellors to be influential is a consequence of their role since they administer Post- Secondary Student Support Program (PSSSP) funding. A report evaluating the program completed by Indian and Northern Affairs Canada in 2005 found that many First Nation students would not have been able to achieve post-secondary educational levels without PSSSP support. Eight self-selected First Nation Education counsellors and twenty-nine First Nation post- secondary students participated in paper surveys, and five students and one counsellor agreed to complete a follow-up interview. The quantitative and qualitative results revealed differences in the perceptions of the two survey groups as to whether First Nation education counsellors influenced students‘ post-secondary program choices.

University of Waterloo Fort Albany, Ontario Waterloo, Ontario Canada, POL 1HO Canada, N2L 3G1 Anthony Iannucci Fort Albany First Nation and RTllnc. Fort Albany, Ontario Canada, POL 1HO Abstract I Resume Until recently, "status quo" houses (Le., dwellings with no running water, washrooms, proper kitchens, or adequate electrical services) were typically built in First Nations (FN). We describe a training program that upgraded existing status quo homes in Fort Albany First Nation to a level comparable to the rest of Canada, on a limited budget. The program provided not only an educational experience for the stUdents, but also paid employment for Fort Albany First Nation members, as well as long-term community benefits. Jusqu'a, a present, les maisons "statu quo", (c.a.d.les habitations sans eau courante, sans toilettes, sans cuisines appropriees et sans electricite adequate), ont ete typiquement construites dans Ie Premiere Nations. Nous decrivons un programme de formation qui, avec un budget limite, a permis d'ameliorer les maisons "statu quo" dans les Premieres Nations, Fort Albany, a un niveau comparable au reste du Canada. Ce programme a non seulement fourni une experience educative aux etudiants, mais a egale­ ment cree des emplois remuneres aux membres des Premieres Nations, Fort Albany et a demontre des avantages a long terme pourla communaute.

  • Cat Lake First Nation Housing Crisis
    March 6, 2019 The Hon. Seamus O’Regan Minister of Indigenous Services House of Commons Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6 Dear Minister O’Regan, Like most Canadians, the members of the Canadian Paediatric Society (CPS) were shocked and saddened to learn about the health and housing crisis in Cat Lake First Nation, which prompted a call for emergency assistance last month. The physical illnesses experienced by the children and families of Cat Lake First Nation, including respiratory and skin problems, are the visible consequences of poor housing. Such conditions are both preventable and unacceptable in our resource-rich country. They also have both immediate and long- term health consequences, including compromising children’s mental, developmental and social health. Inadequate housing has been linked with an increased risk for asthma, injury, and exposure to health hazards. Overcrowding is associated with a wider and faster spread of communicable diseases, such as lower respiratory tract infections and gastroenteritis. Children and youth living in crowded housing conditions also experience more mental health difficulties and problems in schools. We commend your swift action and commitment to invest in housing for Cat Lake as outlined in your interim framework agreement with First Nations leaders, including Cat Lake Chief Matthew Keewaykapow. However, we believe this agreement does not go nearly far enough. Like all children in Canada, the children of Cat Lake have a right to healthy home environments where they can live, play, and grow. The consequences of failing to meet this basic need are both acute and chronic, and will affect their current health and future life chances.

  • The 2009 H1N1 Health Sector Pandemic Response in Remote and Isolated First Nation Communities of Sub-Arctic Ontario, Canada
    The 2009 H1N1 Health Sector Pandemic Response in Remote and Isolated First Nation Communities of Sub-Arctic Ontario, Canada by Nadia A. Charania A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies in Environment and Resource Studies Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2011 © Nadia A. Charania 2011 AUTHOR’S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii ABSTRACT On June 11, 2009, the World Health Organization declared a global influenza pandemic due to a novel influenza A virus subtype of H1N1. Public health emergencies, such as an influenza pandemic, can potentially impact disadvantaged populations disproportionately due to underlying social factors. Canada‟s First Nation population was severely impacted by the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic. Most First Nation communities suffer from poor living conditions, impoverished lifestyles, lack of access to adequate health care, and uncoordinated health care delivery. Also, there are vulnerable populations who suffer from co-morbidities who are at a greater risk of falling ill. Moreover, First Nation communities that are geographically remote (nearest service center with year-round road access is located over 350 kilometers away) and isolated (only accessible by planes year-round) face additional challenges. For example, transportation of supplies and resources may be limited, especially during extreme weather conditions. Therefore, remote and isolated First Nation communities face unique challenges which must be addressed by policy planners in order to mitigate the injustice that may occur during a public health emergency.

  • Cat Lake First Nation Booshoo
    2018 - 2019 WELCOME TO Cat Lake First Nation booshoo 1 Cat Lake Nation First Dear Teachers, Welcome to Cat Lake First Nation! We are very happy that you have decided to come and teach in our community. Cat Lake is a proud Ojibway community, located, as you might have guessed from the name, on the edge of a lake. The land around us is beautiful. You will have the opportunity to explore its beauty during your time with us, both during school hours and in your free time. We are very proud of our new school. Since its opening, students have come back and shown a renewed interest for their education. We hope you will fuel this interest by teaching dynamic classes and also investing yourself outside of classes, organising extracurricular activities that will bring students to discover new interests and talents. We hope you will settle in well to the community. Take the time to get to know people inside and outside of the school, and you will start to feel at home. If you have any problems, please speak to your principal, who will help you try to resolve these issues. We ask that you not go to the band council with your problems, but rather follow the correct protocol by talking to the education leadership. Your students, colleagues, and neighbours look forward to meeting you and getting to know you! Marie Stewart Education Director Cat Lake First Nation 2 Community The First Nation calls itself Bizhiw-zaaga’iganiwininiwag meaning “Men of Wild-cat Lake” or as Bizhiw- zaaga’iganiing Nitam Anishinaabeg meaning “The First Nation at Wild-cat Lake,” where wild-cat refers to the Canada lynx.
