Would you know what to do?

We have scheduled a Mental Health First Aid course and would like to take this opportunity to extend this invitation to you to participate. Mark your calendars for February 8 and 9, 2012. This course is free of charge at this time and is being offered locally.

Grand Council takes ‘bold move’

Anishinaabe Chi-Naaknigewin accepted in principle

The Anishinaabe Chi-Naaknigewin was accepted in principle by a unanimous decision of the Chiefs at the November 15 and 16 Fall Assembly at Garden River. This is a step that bodes well for the official adoption and proclamation of the Anishinabek Nation’s constitution at the June 2012 Grand Council.
