Description of Treaty On September 9, 1850, a treaty was signed between fif tee n Indian Bands and the Crown. The Crown was represented by an Hon. William Benjamin Robinson. The Indians were represented by their Chiefs and headman of th~ir respective tribes. Our Band, known as Batchewana was represented by Chief Nebenai go ­ ching. The treaty with the 8atchewana Band is known as the Robinson Huron Treaty. The treaty itself is number sixty-one in Canada. The Indians gave up claim to the area from Penetanguishine to Sault Ste. Marie and Northwa rd to Ba tc he wa na Bay and inland to the twight of land which separated the Hudsons Bay Company area from Canada. In return for two thousand, one-hundred, and sixty pounds of money, the land controlled by the seventeen bands was surrendered. Six hu ndred pounds were to be paid annually to each band. Since Chief Nebenaigoching was the fifteenth to sign the treaty, our reserve bears the number fiftee n in the Indi an Treaties of Canada.

  • Targeted Residential Fire Risk Reduction a Summary of At-Risk Aboriginal Areas in Canada
    Targeted Residential Fire Risk Reduction A Summary of At-Risk Aboriginal Areas in Canada Len Garis, Sarah Hughan, Paul Maxim, and Alex Tyakoff October 2016 Executive Summary Despite the steady reduction in rates of fire that have been witnessed in Canada in recent years, ongoing research has demonstrated that there continue to be striking inequalities in the way in which fire risk is distributed through society. It is well-established that residential dwelling fires are not distributed evenly through society, but that certain sectors in Canada experience disproportionate numbers of incidents. Oftentimes, it is the most vulnerable segments of society who face the greatest risk of fire and can least afford the personal and property damage it incurs. Fire risks are accentuated when property owners or occupiers fail to install and maintain fire and life safety devices such smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors in their homes. These life saving devices are proven to be highly effective, inexpensive to obtain and, in most cases, Canadian fire services will install them for free. A key component of driving down residential fire rates in Canadian cities, towns, hamlets and villages is the identification of communities where fire risk is greatest. Using the internationally recognized Home Safe methodology described in this study, the following Aboriginal and Non- Aboriginal communities in provinces and territories across Canada are determined to be at heightened risk of residential fire. These communities would benefit from a targeted smoke alarm give-away program and public education campaign to reduce the risk of residential fires and ensure the safety and well-being of all Canadian citizens.

  • The Barriers and Opportunities of Providing Secondary Suites in Rural Metro-Adjacent Regions of Eastern Ontario
    Suite Talk: The Barriers and Opportunities of Providing Secondary Suites in Rural Metro-Adjacent Regions of Eastern Ontario by Montana Caletti A thesis Presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2018 ©Montana Caletti 2018 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 Providing an adequate supply of affordable housing has become an increasing challenge for Ontario municipalities. As a result, changes were made to the Planning Act requiring all Ontario municipalities to implement provisions to permit secondary suites within their zoning bylaws, and official plans. While the implementation of these changes expanded the opportunities for municipalities to increase the supply of affordable housing, several barriers were also encountered. The topic of secondary suites is most frequently studied from an urban perspective. However, given the unique characteristics, and prevailing conditions commonly found in rural communities, these areas impose distinct planning considerations that must be approached differently than urban areas. Therefore, this study examined the opportunities and constraints experienced throughout the implementation of secondary suites by rural metro-adjacent municipalities in Eastern Ontario. The opportunities revealed through the study included: diversifying the existing housing stock, providing supplementary income to homeowners, making better use of existing infrastructure, providing a means for homeowners to aide family members, and increasing municipal control over secondary suite rental housing.

  • Working with Water Goulais Mission Memories
    WORKING WITH WATER GOULAIS MISSION MEMORIES Sheila F. Devlin 244 Shot Point Drive Marquette, Michigan USA, 49855-9553 Abstract I Resume "Working with Water" presents the memorable life experiences of eight Goulais Mission residents as told in conversational interview. Their stories, both joyful and tragic, provide a refreshing portrait of what it was like to live by the Lake where kinship, land, and life on the water formed the backbone of the community. It is the dynamic experience of listening which this paper tries to share. The conclusion covers some lively forces in storytelling and acknowledges the importance of first hand accounts as the best way to hear the voices of cultural authenticity. "Le Travail avec L'eau" presente les experiences inoubliables de huits habitants de la Mission Goulais telles qu'elles ont ete racontees lors de conversations. Leurs recits, tant heureux, que tragiques, nous offrent un portrait refraichissant de la vie pres du lac ou la parente, la terre et la vie sur Ie lac formaient Ie pilier de la communaute. C'est la dynamique de I'ecoute que cet article tente defaire partager. La conclusions presente quelques qualites qui donnent de la vie a la narration et souligne I'importance de I'ecoute de premiere main comme Ie meilleur moyen de saisir les voix authentiques de la culture. The Canadian Journal of Native Studies XXII, 2(2002):269-326. 270 Sheila F.

  • Conclusion Prevalence, Health Outcomes and Service Availability in Ontario Communities
    ICES 306 This report represents an important first step toward examining patterns of diabetes Conclusion prevalence, health outcomes and service availability in Ontario communities. The findings we present will enable local policymakers and health planners to examine the performance of key measures relevant to diabetes care in a given region or community. This information, in turn, can be used to set regional priorities for program planning and development and can help with the development of regional indicators to measure and guide improvement. LESSONS LEARNED Diabetes prevalence rates were highest in the Greater Toronto Area and in Ontario’s First Nations communities. The last decade has seen a dramatic rise in the prevalence of diabetes in Ontario, affecting all segments of the population and all regions. However, ethnic groups that have a greater predisposition for developing diabetes (those of First Nations, South Asian, African and Hispanic descent) continue to experience the greatest burden of diabetes in terms of disease prevalence and incidence. Our findings call for comprehensive, culturally appropriate diabetes prevention programs targeting high-risk communities, in addition to broader-scale policies aimed at curbing the ongoing rise in obesity and diabetes. Conclusion ICES 307 Diabetes complication rates were highest in findings underscore the need for patient- The distribution of endocrinologists was northern and rural areas of the province— centred models of chronic disease limited largely to major centres.

  • The K-Net Broadband Governance Model: Intersecting Views from Government, Community, and Industry
    The Kuh-Ke-Nah broadband governance model: How social enterprise shaped internet services to accommodate indigenous community ownership in Northwestern Ontario, Canada (circa 1997 to 2007) by Adam Paul Fiser A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto© Copyright by Adam Paul Fiser 2010 The Kuh-Ke-Nah broadband governance model Adam Paul Fiser Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2010 Abstract This thesis articulates how the Kuh-Ke-Nah network (K-Net) shaped broadband development in remote indigenous communities. K-Net operates under the not-for-profit stewardship of Keewaytinook Okimanak (KO) Tribal Council. Located in Northwestern Ontario, KO brought K-Net to life amongst its six member First Nations in the mid 1990s. As K-Net evolved and expanded its membership, KO established a governance model that devolves network ownership and control to community networks in partner First Nations. This governance model reflects KO’s use of social enterprise to organize K-Net’s community-based broadband deployment amidst necessary partnerships with government programs and industry players. K-Net’s social enterprise has rapidly grown since 1997, when its core constituents fought for basic telephone service and internet access in Northern Ontario. In the space of less than a decade, K-Net communities have gone from a situation in which it was common for there to be but a single public payphone in a settlement, to a point where over thirty now have broadband internet services to households. Technologies now under K-Net control include a C-Band satellite transponder, IP videoconferencing and telephony, web and email server space, and a variety of terrestrial and wireless links that effectively connect small, scattered First Nations communities to each other and the wider world.

They are among the 25 Local Area Training Boards established in Ontario in 1994. These Boards were created to assist in assessing the training needs and issues of each area. Each Board is made up of representatives of the key labour market partner groups including primarily business and labour but also including educators and trainers, women, persons with disabilities, francophones, and racial minorities. The Boards also have non-voting representatives from the municipal, provincial, and federal governments. The Boards are sponsored by Human Resources and Development Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities. Due to the particular economic conditions in Northern Ontario, it is very important for the Northern Boards to properly understand the trends in population occurring in their region. Economic growth in Northern Ontario has been significantly less then the provincial average since the 1970s. Since training is seen as an important development tool by most people in the region, regional Boards are therefore necessarily involved in economic development discussions.
