The Treaty was to establish a relationship between First Nations and the Europeans on the basis of respect for one another.

Our speaker on Monday was Dan Stevens, Director of Education for the Aaniishinabek Nation. He gave us some insights into the Indigenous community and why it's important to understand the Treaty that we mention in our land acknowledgement. Please do take some time and review the Treaty to gain more perspective.
I had the pleasure of awarding the District Service Award to Don Coutts for his work in promoting the Foundation through the Tulip Drive and helping out with the potatoe program. Congratulations, Don.... well deserved.....
