LETTERS TO THE EDITOR I would like to respond to the article which appeared in your paper on March 3, 2007 entitled, "Deputy Mayor booted out of meeting - Community once again left in the dark." It is important for your readers to be aware that the meeting held with foster parents on March 01, 2007 in Chapleau was a private meeting. Those foster parents present were asked if the Deputy Mayor, local school principal, reps from MCTV, and the Chapleau Express could attend. The foster parents did not want these individuals to participate in this meeting. By April of 2008, Kunuwanimano Child and
Family Services will hopefully become designated as a First Nation child welfare agency. Clearly, 85% of the cases served by our Chapleau office are First Nation children and it is in the best interests of these children that they be served by a First Nation CAS. The Minister of Children and Youth Services, the Honourable Mary Anne Chambers, has gone on record that all children must be treated with sensitivity and with respect when it comes to their culture and heritage. The Minister is also committed to the re-allocation of funding to First Nation child welfare agencies and remains
a strong supporter for the legal and constitutional rights of aboriginal people. On March 01, 2007 in Sudbury, the Board of Directors of the CAS of the Districts of Sudbury and Manitoulin discussed the concerns raised by Mayor Freeborn and they remain steadfast that service delivery to children in the Chapleau area will improve in the long term, with the
eventual transfer of child welfare services to Kunuwanimano. It is our hope that those in positions of authority and influence within the Chapleau community will rally behind Kunuwanimano, as they work towards this goal. David Rivard Executive Director CAS of the Districts of Sudbury and Manitoulin
