Michael McMullen's memories of growing up in Chapleau in the early 1950s won him the first annual BuckwheatAward for most popular story on the blog. The award is named after my beloved cat Buckwheat, who died in November2009at20yearsandtwomonthsold.

Michael McMullen lived in Chapleau from 1952-54 when his father Keith came to work for the Austin Lumber company, but his rootsinthecommunitygo back to 1885 whenhisgreatgreatunclePatrickMulligan(and mine)arrivedandopenedoneofthefirstgeneral stores, called Murrays and Mulligan General Merchants.

AfterreadingMichael'sfamilyhistoryof his grandparents, William, and May (Mulligan) McMullen, both of whom lived in Chapleau in theearlyyearsofthe20thCentury,Iaskedhimif Imightsharesomeofhisrecollectionsoflifein Chapleau. He agreed and his recollections capturemuchoflifeasitwasforusgrowingupin ChapleauduringtheearlyFifties.

"I have fond memories of that time and still have many friendships that have endured sincethen,"Michaelwrote."Moreimportantly,I

met my wife, Alison, during this period. She is the daughter of Leslie and Margaret (Jack) McMillanandsisterofDavidMcMillan.Leswas aCPRlocomotiveengineerwhooperatedoutof Chapleauforover25years,retiringin1966."Mr. McMillan also served as a member of Chapleau townshipcouncil.

REPORT from OTTAWA Rapport d’Ottawa

by/par Carol Hughes Federal member of Parliament Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing

September 30th marks Canada's third official National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This day is meant to honour Indigenous, Inuit and Métis peoples who have suffered at the hands of Canada's residential school system and gives each of us a chance to reflect and learn about this tragic chapter in our nation's history. It encourages us to learn from those who have experienced this system firsthand, the generational trauma it has caused, andthepathwemusttaketowardsreconciliation.

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation was but one of the Truth and ReconciliationCommission's94CallstoAction. TheCallstoActionaredesignedtoaddressthose areasofunequalordiscriminatorytreatmentFirst Nations peoples have and continue to face in accessing fundamental human rights, in areas suchashealthcare,education,justice,andchild welfare,inadditiontoredressforthosewhohave been directly or indirectly affected by the tragic legacyoftheIndianResidentialSchoolsystem.It thereforemakessensetotaketheopportunityto examine those 94 Calls to Action ahead of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation to remind ourselves of how much work this and future governments have to do to ensure the Commission's Calls to Action are fully implemented.

So how is the government doing in completing the Calls to Action? Frankly, not great.Oneofthegroupsthattrackstheprogress oftheTRCCallstoActionthemostfastidiously is the Yellowhead Institute, an Indigenous-led research and education centre based out of Toronto Metropolitan University. They report annually on the work required to achieve the Calls to Action, and in their 2022 report, they usedtermslike“glacial”todescribethepacewith which the Calls to Action are being completed. Lastyear'sreportstates“Weseemtobestuckin aneternalprologue,tryingtodefinetheproblems thatneedtobesolved,butwithincompletedata, laden with grand but ultimately empty promises fromalllevelsofgovernment,andwithallofthis coveredwithathicklayeroforange-glazed'good intentions.'”

In seven years, 13 of 94 Calls toAction havebeencompleted,withonlytwocompletedin 2022. Those calls completed include call 67, whichtaskstheCanadianMuseumsAssociation to undertake a national review of museum policiesandbestpracticestodeterminethelevel

NationalDayforTruthandReconciliationContinues toRemindUsofImportantWorkAhead

of compliance with the United Nations DeclarationontheRightsofIndigenousPeoples (UNDRIP) and to make recommendations; and call70,whichtaskstheCanadianAssociationof Archivists to undertake a national review of archival policies and their compliance with UNDRIP. While these are certainly important matters that needed to be addressed, it's telling that they were both completed by nongovernmental organizations, and not the governmentitself.

Progress within the government, however,ismovingatasnail'space.Soslow,in fact, that by the Yellowhead Institute's calculation, we would not complete all Calls to Actionuntil2065,afull42yearsfromnow.

It should also be noted Bill C-29, which would establish a national council for reconciliation, was passed in the House of Commons, but remains stuck in the Senate. It's particularly vital that the government place

sufficient focus on Calls to Action No. 71-76, which all relate to missing children and burial informationforthosewhodiedunderthecareof residentialschoolauthorities.

However,whileitisimportanttoaddress governmentdawdlingonmattersrelatedtotheir requirementsundertheTruthandReconciliation Commission'sCallstoAction,it'salsoimportant that we take the time to stand in solidarity with First Nations peoples, perhaps by taking part in one of the many events and pow-wows held to commemoratethisimportantday.

It is always heartening to see how much people across Northern Ontario have embraced the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Everywhereyougo,youcanseewavesoforange shirts,andabeautifuldegreeofsolidarity.Taking the time to learn about the residential school system from those who were directly affected will continue to propel conversations about the needtoaddressthesehistoricwrongs.

Michael also helped Raymond Soucie a number of times to pick worms to sell to fishermen for about 25 cents a container. He notedthatintheearly1950s,25centswentalong way, as admission to the theatre was only 15-20 cents. Michael and I also delivered flyers for Simpsons order office which had been recently establishedinChapleau.

"Inthedaysbeforetelevision,aradiowas a great thing to have," Michael recalled.

After moving to Toronto in 1954, Michael did not return to Chapleau until the Chapleau High School reunion in 1997.
