  • 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.

Wachey, Another winter season is upon us...it was a busy time leading up to Christmas and the New Year will be just as busy, offering many business opportunities for Chapleau Cree First Nation and we are poising ourselves to be in position to capitalize on these opportunities big and small. The Treaty Land Entitlement (TLE) negotiations are progressing. We have an offer at the Federal table which sits unsigned by the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs, Bernard Valcourt and I, with the regional Chief Stan Beardy and the Nishnawbe Aski Nation (NAN) Grand Chief Harvey Yesno are urging the minister to sign so we can move forward. At the Provincial level we are still waiting on the notice of completion for the Environmental Assessment (EA). At each meeting we have met our deliverables however, the province has not been so diligent. All of our committees are in place, Education, Health, Housing, Membership and Youth and Culture. We are in early stages in reviewing and updating the Membership code and the Housing policy. The new Communications Policy which was accepted in principal is also being reviewed. Chapleau Cree with our neighbouring First Nation communities, Brunswick House and Chapleau Ojibway have begun Impact and Benefit Agreement (IBA) discussions with Probe Mines. We are in the early stages of these discussions, which should take approximately 18-20 months to develop. With our neighbouring First Nation communities we also began Joint Venture Agreements (JVA) with companies looking to profit from our resources.

  • 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.

  • Health Profile – Thunder Bay District Integrated District Network
    Health Profile – Thunder Bay District Integrated District Network May 2012 North West LHIN RLISS du Nord-Ouest Health Profile for Thunder Bay District Integrated District Network (IDN) Introduction This profile is one of a series of five profiles for each of the proposed Integrated District Networks (IDN)s. Three of the five IDN areas correspond to three of four current sub-LHIN planning areas – Rainy River District, City of Thunder Bay (and surrounding area) and Thunder Bay District (excluding city of Thunder Bay and surrounding area). The fourth and fifth proposed IDNs are formed from the current Kenora District sub-LHIN planning area. The Northern IDN is proposed to encompass Sioux Lookout and all First Nations communities north of Sioux Lookout. The remaining part of Kenora District (including Red Lake, Kenora and Dryden) will be referred to as Kenora District IDN. The map illustrates the North West LHIN’s current sub-LHIN planning areas showing communities that have acute care hospitals. Figure 1: Map of the North West LHIN The Thunder Bay District sub-LHIN planning area of the North West LHIN corresponds to the Thunder Bay District Census Division (CD) excluding the City of Thunder Bay census subdivision and the surrounding census subdivisions of Neebing, Oliver Paipoonge, Conmee, Gillies, O’Connor, Shuniah and Fort William 52. Moving forward, it is proposed that the area will be referred to as the Thunder Bay District Integrated District Network (IDN). Health Profile – Thunder Bay District Integrated District Network (Draft) 2 North West LHIN RLISS du Nord-Ouest The following table presents some of the demographic characteristics of the IDN compared to the total North West LHIN population.
