This has 8:00 am to 6:00 pm (Saturday), 8:00 am to 5:00 pm (Sunday) been a community vision for about 40 years with efforts in the last five (5) years making it a reality. The M’Chigeeng Freshmart grocery store opened its doors for business on April 4, 2019 with M’Chigeeng First Nation Elders Mike Debassige and Nancy Hare being the first shoppers. The M’Chigeeng First Nation Chief and Council, along with community membership and the HIAH Economic Development Corporation, were the driving forces behind this dynamic business venture. The M’Chigeeng First Nation Grocery Store Board will oversee the Grocery Store Operations. To get to where they are today the HIAH Corporation was tasked with carrying out pre-feasibility and feasibility studies. Early on, it was determined that financing could not be obtained for a grocery store alone, so a change in strategy was needed. Grant Taibossigai, General Manager of HIAH Corporation, shared “We decided we would build a Business Centre with space for a store. This would allow us to build the building and support other businesses.” He then set about finalizing the business plan and seeking the $5.2 million needed for the overall project financing. Grant succeeded in arranging investment backing for the project through equity contributions from the M’Chigeeng First Nation, long term debt financing, and the Waubetek Business Development Corporation. Much research went into the planning of the venture. The 6,250 sq. ft. grocery store was to be built to scale and consistent with the market area economy, demographics, and customer demand. Following careful review of options, Loblaw’s Freshmart franchise was chosen for its wide selection of grocery and household items. Thus, the name for the store – M’Chigeeng Freshmart – came about. A further benefit to the community is the creation of jobs. To start, 20% of the local labor and local contractors was confirmed as a requirement with the Construction Contractor. In addition, 20 community members have been trained in public relations, customer service and cash register operation. These staff will fill twelve full-time positions as well as eight ‘on call’ positions. Principal positions were also filled locally with Steven Debassige as Store Manager and Cheyenne

    Byng Inlet Water Quality Characterization – 2014-2016 1/10/2017 Prepared for: Magnetawan First Nation Clark 13 Aubrey St., Bracebridge, ON P1L 1M1 705 645 2967 1/10/2017 Anthony LaForge Director of Lands and Resources Magnetawan First Nation 10 Highway 529, Britt, ON P0G 1A0 Dear Mr. LaForge, I am pleased to submit this report which summarizes the water quality monitoring that was conducted on Byng Inlet from 2014 to 2016. This report summarizes the findings of the three-year project. An examination of measured runoff depths and mean Magnetawan P concentrations indicate export coefficients typical of forested watersheds. This means that the Magnetawan River is behaving like a natural river with respect to phosphorus concentrations. Watershed inputs to Byng Inlet from the Magnetawan River are therefore not a concern with respect to phosphorus at this time. These results indicate that although the water quality with respect to nutrients is excellent there are sources of nutrients within the Inlet that contribute to phosphorus loading but these are difficult to assess due to the large volume of dilution water contributed by the Magnetawan River. There has been an effort here to identify the potential sources of phosphorus to Byng Inlet but no effort has been made to quantify the loads from these sources. Variations in the phosphorus concentrations both seasonally and between sample stations tend to vary between years but it should be noted that the magnitude of the variation in P concentrations is slight. In addition, the measured concentrations of total phosphorus indicate excellent water quality relative to Provincial Water Quality Objectives.

The First Nations that ratify the proposed Anishinabek Nation Governance Agreement (Participating First Nations) will have the power to enact laws in the following areas: leadership selection, citizenship, language and culture, and operation of government.
