MISSING!!!
It has come to our attention that both of our ladders at the Makwa Community Centre have gone missing! We use our ladders for many things at the centre and they are handy items to have, we would greatly appreciate if they were returned!
If a fellow department has borrowed them and forgot to mention it please contact me at the Makwa Centre to let me know! Any information on our missing ladders would be greatly appreciated! Thank you…

FIRE ARMS SAFETY COURSE
I am trying to arrange a Fire Arms Safety Course as soon as possible. I need to know if you are interested. It will cost $160.00 per student and you will have to cover that cost. It takes up to 2 ½ months to get your certificate after you take the course so we are trying to arrange it now. Call Kassandra or Jan at 613-625-2800. You will have to pay in advance.
The course will take place 3 hours on a Friday evening, then all day Saturday. If people prefer just Saturday, it will run from 8:00 to 6:00 or longer if needed. If enough interest is shown I will make the arrangements. Jan or Kassandra will accept names until Friday, July 28, 2017.

FAMILY WELL BEING PROGRAM
“EMBRACING OUR GRANDFATHER TEACHINGS KIND MAN & YOUTH PROGRAM”
One of the first projects we have to offer to youth and men is our program "Embracing Our Grandfather Teachings — Kind Man & Youth Program". This program is a series of twelve weeks and will be facilitated by Mike Richard.
For the past twenty-five years much of Mike’s work has centered on aboriginal communities providing individual counseling, group counseling and community counseling.
This program will engage in Anishinabe Teachings, and Contemporary ways of life. It will encourage the grass root teachings of the people to gain a positive lifestyle and life for themselves and their families.
If you are interested in taking this program or would like more information please call 613 625-2324.

RE: FIRST NATIONS DELIVERY CREDIT IMPLEMENTATION REGISTER NOW IN ORDER TO REMOVE DELIVERY CHARGES BY AUGUST 1ST
On May 31, 2017 the Province of Ontario passed the Fair Hydro Act that will lower electricity bills by 25 per cent on average for all residential customers in the province. This Act also provides the foundation for the First Nation Delivery Credit: The First Nation Delivery Credit will provide First Nation on-reserve households with additional savings through a 100 per cent credit of the delivery line on the monthly electricity bills.
The Chiefs Committee on Energy has been working with the Ministry of Energy to implement the First Nation Delivery Credit for an implementation date of July 1, 2017. First Nation on-reserve residential customers that are currently registered with their Local Distribution Company for the HST exemption will be automatically eligible and enrolled to receive the First Nation Delivery Credit.
To ensure all First Nation on-reserve residential customers receive the First Nation Delivery Credit in the most efficient manner, the existing HST exemption system will be used to identify eligible First Nations on-reserve residential customers. First Nations on-reserve residential customers that are not currently registered with their Local Distribution Company to receive the HST exemption are encouraged to register as soon as possible.
We are asking First Nations leadership to assist by communicating that all First Nations on-reserve residential customers, need to ensure that they are registered with their Local Distribution Company to receive the HST exemption in order to receive the First Nation Delivery Credit. Those First Nation on-reserve residential customers who are registered with their Local Distribution Company prior to July 1, 2017 should see the removal of delivery charges starting as early as August 2017.
For First Nation on-reserve residential customers that are not currently receiving the HST exemption, please have them contact their Local Distribution Company or visit the Chiefs of Ontario website at http://www.chiefs-of-ontario.org to access further information.
For any further questions or concerns, please contact Amy Lickers at the Chiefs of Ontario at [email protected] or at 416-597-1266
