Back Cover MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF Message From Chief R. Stacey Laforme It is only the second month into the new term but we continue to make progress on the many areas we have been working on the previous year. We continue with our plans to ensure a prosperous nation, a self-determining nation and a nation that does not forget our history, our culture or our re- sponsibilities. The strategic plan has been approved and we are embarking on engaging membership to help plot out the future for the next seven genera- tions. I fi rmly believe that this is essential to creating a vision, a plan and a path to our future. Without the plan, we will become caught up in daily actions, al- ways reacting to government policies and agendas, and not on our own path. I have been asked, “Why do you sign MOUs with Universities, Unions, Cancer Care Ontario, and take the time to build relationships with the many na- shooting. Canada must realize there can be no recon- tions throughout our lands?” ciliation if there is no justice. Every person in this land We build all these relationships because it is a part - red, black, white, yellow, rich or poor - must feel that of our responsibility as Treaty Holders within our the system is one based on equality.

Less than 10 years later, in 1847, The Queen described him as “a tall, youngish man, faced with a scarcity of resources and ever-encroaching with a yellowish complexion and black hair; and in settlers, the Mississaugas moved to New Credit in 1847. his natural dress, which is entirely of leather; leath- er leggings, etc. He kissed my hand; he speaks En- glish very well, and expressed himself very well.” The petition, bearing the totems of the principle men of the Credit River, asked the Queen to grant the Missis- saugas title to the lands they occupied in Upper Canada. Without such titles, the Mississaugas feared their lands could be taken from them at any time by the government.

    Media Release For Immediate Release June 19, 2019 Grand Erie Goes Green as 38 Schools Earn EcoSchools Certification Brantford Ont. – Grand Erie District School Board students and staff are doing their part to ensure a healthier future for the planet. More than half of the board’s 72 schools were rewarded for their environmental efforts in 2018-19 with 38 earning EcoSchools Certification. “We’re extremely proud of what our EcoTeams have achieved this year,” said Katie Hashimoto, Supervisor of Energy and Environmental Conservation at the Board. “Fostering student leadership and becoming stronger environmental stewards is part of the EcoSchools certification process. What these schools are doing will have a lasting impact.” As the world comes face-to-face with the realities of climate change, Grand Erie students are leading the way with big and small modifications that make a significant difference. From introducing recycling programs, encouraging waste-free lunches, energy conservation programs and school grounds greening projects, the EcoSchools program provides a framework for building environmentally responsible schools. The EcoTeams also take on the task of student-centred actions and goal setting. Three Grand Erie schools earned Platinum EcoSchools certification, the highest level of recognition. They include Bellview Public School, École Confédération and Pauline Johnson Collegiate and Vocational School. Additionally, 14 schools were awarded gold certification, 14 earned silver, and seven collected bronze. In total, 31 elementary
