Foreword – Environment Director
“Sheko:lih and welcome to the third edition of the Chiefs of Ontario’s Environment Newsletter. Fall has arrived, and with this comes a love of the land in sustaining us by harvesting gardens, hunting and gathering foods for the colder months ahead.
In this quarterly newsletter, the Environment team will provide several key updates on files that continue to move forward. We have also included a section entitled “Good News Stories” because it is essential to highlight First Nation Communities’ determination and resolve.
As the fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic moves across the country, the Environment team continues to work on multiple files mandated by resolutions. Although we cannot yet meet in person, information on the Environment files is currently being shared in various ways through zoom meetings, webinars, phone calls, social media, and this Environment Newsletter.
Once again, I want to thank the front-line workers for their continued dedication to ensuring we are all safe and healthy during the pandemic. Thank you to the Chiefs Committee on the Environment for your continued support, guidance, and advocacy efforts during these very challenging times.
Finally, love of the land is why we work hard to ensure that future generations enjoy the lands and waters.”

Chiefs of Ontario, Director of Environment
