Administrative ,,, / Report ADMINISTRATIVE ,,, / REPORT,., Administration Department Public Document Yes No TIS" SUBJECT: Indigenous Engagement Framework and 2020 Report Back on Progress RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve the Indigenous Engagement Framework and accept the 2020 Report Back on Progress EXPLANATION: In 2019, Council approved the draft Indigenous Engagement Framework. Direction was provided to turn the draft document into Report and to report back on activities. The COVID- 19 global pandemic interrupted a number of activities in 2020. For example, the Mushkegowuk Cup was postponed and the inability to meet face-to-face led to the cancellation of a many of meetings of the City of Timmins Indigenous Advisory Committee. Be that as it may, much progress was made in a number of strategic areas. Addressing Human Needs: Worked collaboratively with the Cochrane DSSAB, Living Space and Northern College to ensure the safest possible shelter services were available during the pandemic. Lobbied senior levels of government for support for the Mushkegowuk Council' s Fire Keepers Street Outreach application for funding. Worked collaboratively with the Timmins Native Friendship Centre and Living Space to ensure adequate winter shelter services and cold weather alerts during 2019-20. Timmins hosted 166 evacuees for a seventeen day period in August from Fort Hope, ensuring COVID- 19 protocols were in place including 24/7 on site nurses and access to a physician. Timmins supported the development of the Kanachihih Youth Treatment Centre. Delivering on the Calls to Action The Indigenous Advisory Committee met throughout the year, with a hiatus during the state of emergency and lockdown. COT —HR -035( F4) -v05 Revised: March 31. 2017 The Indigenous Advisory Committee had reviewed and shortlisted a provider of Cultural Competency/Sensitivity training for the City — however the pandemic has forced the committee to review other options. The City of Timmins has participated in the mural project that has seen numerous public (City Hall, Timmins Museum, Victor M. Power Airport) and private buildings be painted with Indigenous themed murals. The Timmins Museum hosted the annual Treaty week education programs for the community. The City of Timmins is participating in the Timmins Economic Development Corporation' s Anti -Racism Action Program. Focus on: Timmins Museum' s 2020 Activities 1) Support to indigenous artists and artisans through: a) Partnership with Niska Arts Co- operative (and Mennonite Central Committee) to carry work by indigenous arts and artisans in the gift shop; b) Indigenous artist and artisan fair (July and November); and c) Workshops for emerging indigenous students (with Misiway). 2) Presenting a more comprehensive and inclusive view of Indigenous life in the Timmins area through our new permanent exhibition: a) Consultations with Ojibwa Cree Cultural Centre regarding presentation of indigenous history in our permanent exhibition; b) Inclusion of Cree language learning tool ( app) in the exhibition; c) Inclusion of Indigenous map of Canada and app in exhibition; d) Staff attend " Indigenous Collections Workshop" at the Canadian Museum of History; the aim of this event is to support organizations with Indigenous collections in their care to improve their practices and improve relations between museums and Indigenous communities; and e) An agreement between the Timmins Museum and the Mattagami First Nation and the Taykwa Tagamou Nation was reached for the transfer of archeological pieces from the Yellow Falls site; work will now progress on the actual transfer and storage of the artefacts for the First Nations at the museum. 3) Support to indigenous community through workshops, partnerships and educational opportunities like: a) As part of the Franco 400 celebrations in 2014, we provided space for a 3 month canoe building workshop and celebration of culture with a Metis master craftsman, canoe remains in the collection; b) Art workshops for children suffering trauma ( healing workshop) ( partnership with the Native Friendship Centre); c) Workshops with the Ontario Native Women' s Association on drum making, storytelling and ribbon skirt making; d) Mural project through Misiway; COT —HR -035( F4) -v05 Revised: March 31. 2017 e) Week-long celebration commemorating National Treaty Week (November) with Misiway; and f) Discussions with indigenous liaison with the school boards regarding issues of cultural sensitivity. The museum continues to explore new avenues for partnership with indigenous communities and groups. Items " on our plate" include the addition of a member from the indigenous community on our advisory committee, cultural sensitivity training; addition of another mural in the museum.
