“Thinking of you On Father’s Day”
Your strength reminds me of the mountains, your wisdom as of an eagle soaring above the storms, your courage as of a bear. As this is a day to honour you and recognize everything you do for us. Not enough words can express the love and appreciation for you.
Happy Father’s Day
Sending a Happy Father's Day shout out to Blaine Savard. The man who moves fire and earth for his family. We are so thankful and appreciate you for all your hard work and many things you do for our little family ♡ we love you more then we could ever put into words. Love always and forever, Andria and your boys, Trestan and Ethan
On behalf of the Consultation Department, we would like to “Congratulate Everyone in the BEAHR Environmental Monitoring Program” for graduating from the course and receiving their certifications!”
We wish you all the success in the field, and we’re excited to see our graduates out on the land preserving our traditional territory and upholding our Treaty rights, Sovereignty, and Nationhood. (not pictured: Teala Ward and Terrance Potskin)
BEAHR Guiding Principles:
Our relationship with Indigenous peoples is founded on respect. Respect for their distinct cultures, history, unique relationship to the land and the legal status of Indigenous Peoples. We are committed to collaborating with Indigenous Peoples and their communities to build long-term and mutually beneficial relationships based on the values of honesty, and inclusion.
It is paramount to center our efforts in the following principles: Acknowledging
that the Treaty Rights of Indigenous people in Canada are affirmed, recognized and protected by the Canadian Constitution.
Acknowledging the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and committing to work with Indigenous People within the Canadian legal and constitutional framework.
Acknowledging and recognizing the diversity of Indigenous peoples in Canada and committing to interact with each Indigenous community in a way that respects their culture,
customs, and history.
Acknowledging and respecting that each Indigenous community has its own distinct and unique connection with the land and environment.
Appreciating the importance of learning from and respecting the cultures in which we operate.
BEAHR Environmental Monitor Program was a five (5) week program that was held from April 17th to May 20th, 2023 for those that wanted to learn and be trained for:
Land-based skills
Gaining traditional knowledge, western science information land-based skills, and GIS
A career that protects areas of concern for maskêkosihk.
Willingness to learn treaty/ inherent land rights and uses.
These successful participants will continue on for full ticket-training in the field (AVT/UTV Safety, Chainsaw Safety, etc.)
We will be having another five (5) program, once we can confirm a date, we will send out notice for those that would like to register.
Congratulations to our son Dominic Choponis for graduating on June 27th, 2023, Class of 2023! We’re so proud of you, we love you and the sky is the limit! Love Dad Tony, Stepmom Mara and your brothers and sister.

Graduation day for my beautiful niece Jaycine Alexander ; Auntie is so proud of you.
It’s coming up to one year since the election has passed for Chief and Council.
Time always moves forward whether we are ready or not. Just as seasons bring change so does change in every aspect of our lives.
As Enoch Cree Nation continues to evolve with change, we are starting to see it in the land and buildings. A positive effect that reflects the care and time that each branch and each meeting that leadership holds to make this change. Setting an example to our
youth and next generations with every swipe of the paint whether a brush or spray. Our buildings are looking so much better, speaking volumes of honour, respect and care in details. As Spring Cleaning took place at two different times, seeing all that participated just shows how much we value our land and our homes.
From recollection from last year up to present and work still being done:
The new school, “maskêkosak kiskinomâtowikamik was already in place prior to elections.
Chief Enoch Recreational Centre.
Site Blessings
Elder Lorraine Makokis came and said prayers at the site; blessing involving a” Sod Turning Ceremony” for the “Arena Road Rebuild Project” on May 3rd, 2023 at 10:00am to 11am at the intersection of 231 Street and 70 Avenue.
Daycare had a garage built for storage.
The Old Foodbank Building was completely renovated inside.
Enoch Animal and Control building had been repainted
Interior Chief’s area moved to another part of the building and hallway repainted
The old water Pump House No. 1, was in need of a major facelift, it was painted and covered with an anti graffiti coating, thank you very much Infrastructure Team for the community improvement, It was a “needed facelift” to the older historical building.
The backroads are currently being worked on to be paved, as you will see in
the following maps. *See next pages of maps showing roads.”
New homes are being built.
Tentatively a Treatment Centre is another focus as the Premier came to Enoch and sat with Chief Cody Thomas and some of the Council members to sign an MOU for the funding to be in place of 33 million dollars.
A building in it’s final stages of being completed is located at River Cree Crossing across from River Cree Resort and Casino.
Keep Up The Great Work Enoch Cree Nation!
