In the process, Jays Care Foundation takes seriously its responsibility to support the redressing of the legacy of residential schools and the advancement of the process of Canadian reconciliation. Jays Care Foundation recognizes that the territory now referred to as Canada is an unequal one, especially for children and youth identifying as Indigenous or living in Indigenous communities. Jays Care Foundation is focused on working towards the calls to action around sport and youth programs as laid out in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada report 2012. In order to answer these calls to action, Jays Care Foundation aims to amplify the voice of Indigenous children and youth, celebrate their success and achievements, and advocate for their right to equal opportunity. The following report provides a snapshot of the different ways Jays Care works with Indigenous communities to create spaces and experiences that support young people to achieve their potential. LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Jays Care Foundation is located on the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. Jays Care also acknowledges this location is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit. 90 % of kids made new friends and built stronger friendships since being in La Ronge Rookie League. 100 % of KCA coaches have seen children and youth demonstrate an increased connection to 92 their community. % of children and youth in FHQ said being a part of Rookie League made them feel proud of themselves and their accomplishments. Rookie League Programs Children and youth participated in Indigenous Rookie Community members were engaged as spectators, 910 League in 2019 1000+ participants at Indigenous Rookie League programs Coaches were trained to enhance their ability to create Baseball games or practices were held during 32 safe and engaging environments for children and youth 203 Indigenous Rookie League this year 25 Program sites hosted Indigenous Rookie League activities What is Indigenous Rookie League? Indigenous Rookie League is a unique inter-generational baseball program that increases physical and mental health outcomes for children and youth, while also promoting healing through inter-generational connections and community collaboration. How Did Indigenous Rookie League Start? In 2015, Jays Care Foundation partnered with Kenora Chiefs Advisory (KCA), an alliance of eight independent First Nations in Northwestern Ontario, to support the creation of a baseball league aimed at addressing growing mental health concerns among youth in communities. The idea was to use baseball as a tool to engage children, youth and adults in regular inter-generational play and enhance connections between all community members. What evolved was Indigenous Rookie League, a league that enabled young and old to play together, enhanced community pride, and that created safe space for youth who often sat on the fringes. What Makes the Program Unique? FAMILY LEAGUE Indigenous Rookie League is unique in its design as it focuses on social connection, health and wellness not just for children and youth, but for the whole community. The goals of the program reflect this family and community centred approach: 1. Enhance the self confidence and self-esteem of children and youth 2. Enhance the overall physical, emotional, spiritual and mental health of children and youth 3. Connect communities though sport and provide opportunities for the sharing of culture 4. Create opportunities for inter-generational connection through sport and play 5. Promote strong community leadership and provide leadership opportunities to youth 6. Provide opportunities for success through sport that children and youth can apply to other areas of their lives POINTS SYSTEM Indigenous Rookie League is designed for groups of neighbouring Indigenous nations interested in creating inter-community and inter-generational baseball leagues. When a league is formed, participating communities are provided with a standardized point system that allows game play to focus less on the skill level of participants and more on getting the community engaged. Below is an example of how the point system can work toward the programs goals: • Every player that attends 2 points • Team practices 10 points • Every fan that attends 2 points • Meal provided for visiting team 10 points • Announcer with speaker 5 points • Leadership/Councillor in 15 points set-up to call game Attendance • Winning team 5 points • Chief in Attendance (welcomes 20 points • Elder opening game from 10 points or thanks visiting team) Home Team • Chief playing in the Adult innings 20 points Rookie League Feature: Kenora Chiefs Advisory GROWINGGROWING THE GAME THE IN TREATYGAME 3 IN TREATY 3 When Stephanie Taylor took up the role of League Coordinator in April 2019, Rookie League was already well-known among KCA’s member nations. However, Stephanie saw opportunities to deepen the impact and build on the existing successful foundation already laid out. LEADERSHIP – Stephanie’s vision started with greater community involvement, and to achieve this she was going to need the support of community leadership. She adjusted the point system to celebrate engagement of the leadership. Teams can score 15 points if Chief or Council Members come to a game, or a substantial 20 points for each Elder in attendance. The ultimate points tally (25) is reserved for any Chief, council member or Elder who picks up a bat, ball or glove and plays in the final inning of a game. SOCIAL MEDIA – To grow the game across such a large geographical area, KCA uses social media to raise awareness and build excitement. This year’s success had a lot to do with the utilization of social media platforms. Teams are awarded 3 points for live streaming their games on Facebook which allows folks from all across Treaty 3 to engage to engage in the program

  • (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.

  • 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.

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.

  • 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.
