Aecon-Six Nations (A6N) Announces Transition from Joint Venture to General Partnership DONNA DURIC

donna@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Aecon and Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation (SNGRDC) are now a general partnership.

The announcement came Tuesday that the two, who have been operating as a joint venture since 2015, are now a partnership.

A6N has been operating as an unincorporated joint venture with SNGRDC since 2015,

with SNGRDC being a 51 percent equity owner and Aecon being a 49 percent equity owner.

No changes to ownership levels have been made with the transition to the general partnership, SNGRDC said in a press release yester-

day.

As a formal general partnership, A6N is now a legal entity which can purchase and own assets which will assist with the continued growth of the business.

Additionally, A6N’s base of operations has moved to Oneida Business Park, a large industrial and office space on Sixth Line Road near Hwy. 6, to accommodate the planned growth of the business in a modern, open space, SNGRDC said.

The Six Nations community is invited to an open house on March 22 from 11am 4 pm to celebrate A6N’s success and to learn more about the company, including upcoming projects and career opportunities.

Since its inception in 2015, A6N has been an employer noted for hiring local talent and providing millions in payroll to Indigenous

employees each year, said SNGRDC. A6N’s Indigenous payroll impact since 2015 has been $50 million, and in 2023, A6N employed 85 Indigenous workers at peak operations and generated $32 million in revenue – a number that is expected to rise even further as a general partnership, SNGRDC noted.

“The continued success of this meaningful relationship between SNGRDC and Aecon has put A6N in a position to make this transition possible, even necessary,” said Matt Jamieson, President and CEO of SNGRDC. “A6N has an exceptional and dedicated team, and we are proud to move forward as General Partners and support their future advancement.”

“The continued evolution of A6N demonstrates nearly a decade of successful partner-

ship and collaboration,” said Scott Ryan, Vice President, Aecon Utilities. “Building on core capabilities in the utilities sector, A6N has steadily expanded its expertise and we are proud to partner on increasingly complex projects with a continued focus on working collaboratively with Indigenous communities to build a sustainable future.”

Founded in 2015, Aecon-Six Nations is a general partnership between Aecon Group Inc. and the Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation.

A6N performs a broad range of utility-related work in the gas, fibre, forestry, and hydro sectors in southwestern Ontario. A6N employs a majority Indigenous workforce and has provided about $50 million in payroll to Indigenous employees since 2015.

Police come up empty-handed during search of missing woman Amber Ellis on First Line Road STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Police said the search for missing woman Amber Ellis at a First Line Road address is over after a heavy police presence descended on the property Tuesday morning.

The OPP Criminal Investigation Branch searched the property Tuesday morning and left by late Tuesday afternoon, saying they failed to find Ellis’s remains.

The OPP had earlier warned the public to expect a heavy police presence on the property Tuesday in relation to

Ellis’s disappearance.

The search was conducted with assistance from the OPP Emergency Response Team as part of the two-year-old missing person investigation.

“No human remains were found at the search location,” the OPP said in a press release issued late Tuesday afternoon, while refusing to answer

further questions or provide further information on the search or the case.

“No additional information regarding the details or outcome of the search will be provided, as this remains an ongoing and active investigation.”

Police said the tenants of the property were not considered suspects in

the investigation.

Police said in an earlier press release they had expected to be there throughout the week before abruptly wrapping up the investigation on the property late Tuesday afternoon (yesterday).

Amber, who was from Hagersville and had ties to Six Nations,

was reported missing on Mar. 8, 2021. Police had searched a Sixth Line Road property last summer as part of the investigation into her whereabouts and are offering a $50,000 reward to anyone with information leading to an arrest or conviction.

Six Nations Police assisted in the search.

The tournament was hosted this year in Markham and was created to provide a space for Ontario Indigenous youth to learn and play hockey. It is the largest annual ice hockey tournament for First Nation youth in Ontario.

As a founding member of the HHOF and through the Esso Fun Days program, Esso and Imperial have a long history of supporting women and hockey in Canada and continue to extend their support to communities who are looking to grow the game.

Indigenous athlete Victoria Bach, forward

with PWHL Toronto and the Canadian Women’s Hockey Team, shared her journey from growing up in Ontario to representing her country playing hockey.

“To see the amount of representation we currently have in the PWHL is absolutely incredible and I think it’s going to continue to rise,” said Bach. “Hopefully someday I’ll get to see all of you playing in the PWHL.” Bach said that aside from being a player, this league is opening up so many opportunities for female leadership roles.

“There’s so many opportunities now for us as females,” she added.

Science catching up to indigenous pre-history JIM WINDLE

jim@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Back in 2016, I wrote an article for the Two Row Times about an archaeological find near Hagersville that turned a lot of heads in academic circles. In the years since its publication even more evidence of early man in the Americas has been excavated, dated and recorded.

Finds like these have moved the estimated timeline of the migration into America back about 10,000 - 20,000 years, but even that is slow to reach academia which still teaches an 11,000 to 13,000 years time frame. Some texts now say it happened between 13,000 and 15,000 years ago. Other estimates are even longer … much longer. But that is now being challenged with recent discoveries throughout the Americas which seem to show the humanization of this part of the world may have happened much earlier and from origins other than the widely accepted land bridge hypothesis.

Sadly, Mrs. Kraemer has pass on since that article was published and did not live to see academia catching up with her findings.

The Two Row Times story concerned a number of stone tools Kraemer and her late husband found quite by chance in the Hagersville area.

They were indeed stone tools of great antiquity, as confirmed by Universities in both the USA and Kraemer’s home country of Germany.

But there was something very special about these enigmatic stone artifacts. They had a deep

red patina, or staining, indicative of a phenomenon of nature known as desert varnish. Results from Texas A&M science labs as well as a prominent German University in Berlin with much experience in the field of dating antiquities reaffirmed the Kraemers’ suspicion that these stone tools must have been exposed to the environment, undisturbed for tens of thousands of years.

Desert varnish is a very slow growing mosslike life form found on exposed rock in iron rich, once swampy soil.

This patina is not only on the unworked parts of the tools but also on the cutting edges, indicating they must have been made and left for some unknown reason by ancient hunters more than 20,000 years ago and probably much, much longer.

Kraemer sent these samples to Texas A&M for evaluation and in a return letter from renowned archaeologist and geographical researcher, George Carter, representing the University he states in his evaluation, the possibility of these tools being not only thousands of years old, but likely tens of thousands old.

“I have no difficulty with this material,” writes Carter. “It is all the product of man breaking up rock to make tools.” He goes on, “The suggestion is of some very old industry. This is also suggested by the remarkable discolouration of the rock.”

He noted of specific interest how deep this discolouration has made its way into the rock.

“This is more than a mere surface.” said

Carter. “It penetrates to some degree,” Comparing Kraemer’s artifacts to those found elsewhere, he places these tools from the mid to late Pleistocene era.

The Pleistocene epoch lasted from 1,640,000 to about 10,000 years ago.

The Pleistocene “was marked by great fluctuations in temperature that caused the ice ages, with glacial periods followed by warmer interglacial periods. Several forms of fossil human, leading up to modern humans, appeared during this epoch.”

Carter also endorses Kraemer’s find as being important to the understanding of the peopling of North America.

“I have never seen anything comparable to this on any Sandia-Clovis-Fulsom material,” he writes. “I judge it to be old, and probably very old.”

But exactly how old is old, and very old?

“What that means in years is impossible to say,” concluded Carter.

He found that the making of these tools is cruder then those found in the Calico deposits in California which are dated to be as old as 200,000 years, using Uranium series CoCo3 tests on those California samples.

Carter then makes a startling statement regarding the Kraemer find.

“It is probably a minimal date of 200,000 years,” he declared after studying the Kraemer’s find. Carter may have been a bit overzealous in his findings, but even if it was not 200,000 years when the abscirnt ones came to this side of the world, suffice it to say, humans occupied wide regions of North Amer-

The late Ilse Kraemer made many important archaeological finds in her lifetime, but maybe one of her most important finds has was perhaps a few years too early to be taken seriously. Several years ago, somewhere near Hagersville, she and her late husband discovered stone tools that have been dated by academics as to a time long before the estimated 12,000 - 13,000 years time frame for the peopling of the Americas.

ica long before 11,000 13,000 yrs. ago.

One such site is the Topper site in South Carolina. This site is in the Savannah River floodplain on the coast of South Carolina. The site has seen human occupations come and go much older than Pre-Clovis but the Pre-Clovis component, which underlies the later occupations, ranges in date between 15,000 and 50,000 years ago.

K. Kris Hirst wrote in August 08, 2018, “The Pre-Clovis culture, is the name given by archaeol-

ogists to the people who colonized the American continents before the Clovis big-game hunters.”

The existence of Pre-Clovis sites has been widely discounted up until now.

“The past twenty years or so, although evidence has slowly been growing and much of the archaeological community now support these and other sites of the time period.”

In Washington, USA, the Ayer Pond site is thought to be a bison butchery site, discov-

ered by workmen in 2003 on Orcas Island off the mainland US coast in Washington State. Direct-dating of the bison was conducted using AMS techniques to approximately 13,700 calendar years ago (cal Before Present). No stone tools were found, but the bone was excellently preserved, and evidence of a few cutmarks suggested to American archaeologist Stephen M. Kenady and colleagues that the adult male Bison had been butchered.

Water for Peace

World Water Day campaign begins this weekend JACE KOBLUN

TWO ROW TIMES

Co-operating on water creates a positive ripple effect that fosters harmony, generates prosperity and builds

resilience to shared challenges. World Water Day 2024 (WWD) is March 22 and this year’s theme is Water for Peace.

“We must act upon the realization that water is not only a resource to be used and competed over – it is a human

right, intrinsic to every aspect of life,” reads the United Nations (UN) website. “This World Water Day, we all need to unite around water and use water for peace, laying the foundations of a more stable and prosperous tomorrow.”

WWD raises awareness and inspires action to tackle the globe’s water and sanitation crisis.

It became a UN observance day in 1993 and seeks to focus attention on the global water crisis and raise awareness of the 2.2 billion people

living without access to safe water.

“Water can create peace or spark conflict.

When water is scarce or polluted, or when people have unequal, or no access, tensions can rise between communities and countries,” stated

the United Nations in a release. “More than three billion people worldwide depend on water that crosses national borders. Yet, only 24 countries have co-operation agreements for all their shared water.”

World Water Day campaign begins this weekend

Continued from page 7

As climate change impacts increase, and populations grow, there is an urgent need, within and between countries, to unite around protecting and conserving this resource.

Public health and prosperity, food and energy systems, economic productivity and environmental integrity all rely on a well-functioning and equitably managed water cycle.

Did you know?

- 2.2 billion people still live without safely managed drinking water, including 115 million people who drink surface water.

- Roughly half of the

world’s population is experiencing severe water scarcity for at least part of the year.

- Water-related disasters have dominated the list of disasters over the past 50 years and account for 70 per cent of all deaths related to natural disasters.

Transboundary waters account for 60 per cent of the world’s freshwater flows, and 153 countries have territory within at least one of the 310 transboundary river and lake basins and inventoried 468 transboundary aquifer systems.

- Only 24 countries report that all their transboundary basins are covered by co-oper-

ation arrangements.

Key messages for WWD 2024 - Water can create peace or spark conflict.

When water is scarce or polluted, or when people struggle for access, tensions can rise.

By co-operating on water, we can balance everyone’s water needs and help stabilize the world.

- Prosperity and peace rely on water. As nations manage climate change, mass migration and political unrest, they must put water co-operation at the heart of their plans.

- Water can lead us out of crisis. We can foster harmony between communities and coun-

tries by uniting around the fair and sustainable use of water – from United Nations conventions at the international level to actions at the local level.

“We need everyone – from individuals and families to companies and governments – to do what they can to co-operate on water and pave the way for a more harmonious society,” stated the UN.

How scientists know the climate is changing Climate change is a complex subject that can easily confound. Due to its complexity, climate change has led many people to ask questions, including how scientists can be so certain that the climate is changing in such a way as to threaten the planet’s ability to remain a healthy place for human life.

What are some of the signs of climate change?

Scientists have been projecting outcomes of Earth’s changing climate for decades. But climate change isn’t just about the future, and the USGS notes that various signs of climate change are already noticeable.

• Temperatures are rising across the globe,

an increase the USGS indicates is a byproduct of greenhouse gases trapping more heat in the atmosphere. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that greenhouse gases are gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. As these gases, which include carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, trap more heat in the atmosphere, they make the planet warmer, thus changing its climate.

• Droughts are becoming longer and more extreme. The Center for Climate and Energy Solutions notes that warmer temperatures enhance evaporation.a Evaporation reduces surface water, thereby drying

out soils and vegetation.

As a result, periods with low precipitation end up being drier than they would be in cooler conditions, leading to longer, more extreme periods of drought.

• The increased severity of tropical storms is another indicator of climate change. Scientists have linked that increased severity to warmer ocean temperatures. The Environmental Defense Fund notes that storms pull in more water vapor and heat as they travel across warmer oceans. That leads to stronger winds, heavier rainfall and more flooding once the storms reach land.

Ancient stone tools found near Hagersville

Continued from page 6

Bluefish Caves site in the Canadian far-north includes three small cavities, discovered in the 1970s but recently redated. The earliest established occupation occurred as early as 24,000 cal BP. Artifacts include about 100 stone specimens, with tools such as a microblade core, burins and burin spalls, similar to Dyuktai tradition in Siberia.

A total of 36,000 animal bones were found in the caves, mostly reindeer, moose, horse, Dall sheep, mammoth, and bison. Wolves, lions, and foxes were the main agents for the bone accumulation, but human occupants were responsible for cut marks on at least fifteen specimens.

Those were submitted for AMS raciocarbon dating and found to range

between 12,000 and 24,000 BP. Cactus Hill is an important Clovis period site located in Virginia.

But there is also a possible pre-Clovis site below it, dated to between 18,000 and 22,000 BP. The Debra L. Friedkin site is a site located on a fluvial terrace close to the famous Clovis and pre-Clovis Gault site.

Michael R. Waters, Endowed Chair, Director the Center for the Study of the First Americans, Executive Director

North Star Archaeological Research Program concludes in a recently publish a paper, “The site includes occupation debris beginning in the Pre-Clovis period of some 14-16,000 years ago through the Archaic period of 7600 years ago.

In the 1980’s, academic, Lee Paxton boldly wrote, “The oldest findings at the Meadowcroft site near Avella, Pennsylvania, predated by thousands of years the time when many believe that giant sheets of glacial

ice had shifted to make it possible for humans to cross the land bridge from Asia.”

Students overlooking the spot where 14,000 year old coprolites (poop) with human DNA were found in Cave 5, Paisley Caves in Oregon.

Paisley is the name of a handful of caves within the interior of the American state of Oregon in the Pacific northwest.

Field school investigations at this site in 2007 identified a rock-lined hearth, human copro-

lites and a midden dated to between 12,750 and 14,290 years before the present.

Although most of America’s indigenous people today believe they were created here on Turtle Island (North America), recent technology and reconsidered possibilities have moved the academic world much closer to the indigenous time frame for the first inhabitants as research continues to drive that date deeper and deeper into the distant past.

Why is this stone tool red? A number of oddly coloured stone tools discovered more than 40-years ago by Brantford’s Ilse Kraemer near Hagersville, since verified to be between 20,000 and 200,000 years old. If true, the long believed date of the arrival of the first humans in Ontario has been adjusted by tens of thousands of years. Photo by Jim Windle

Hamilton’s Aboriginal Health Centre has a new CEO Janet Gasparelli will head up the Hamilton Aboriginal Health Centre starting April 2.

Gasparelli, from Six Nations, was chosen after an extensive search process, the health centre noted in a press release last week.

SHe will oversee three separate health centre sites in Hamilton, Brantford, and Niagara when

she takes her new post.

Gasparelli said she is “Excited to return to serve the urban Indigenous community in this new capacity and get back to the inclusive and welcoming nature in these settings.”

The board of the health centre, also referred to as De Dwa Da Dehs Nye>s - Taking Care of Each Other Amongst

Ourselves - said it was important to have a CEO of Indigenous ancestry to fulfill its mission and namesake.

“This was integral in our search for the CEO role and leadership of the organization,” the health centre said in a press release. “After an intentional search and multiple qualified candidates were considered

for this role, the board selected an individual who is Indigenous and representative of the communities we serve, embodies the work of DAHAC, and comes with several years of experience in both health care and social services from an urban and on-reserve perspective.”

Gasparelli was raised in Northern Ontario

along the north shore of Lake Superior and has lived for the past 20-plus years in Southern Ontario. She has worked with the urban Indigenous population in Toronto and the last six years with Six Nations Health Services.

She said she, “looks forward to learning from the team and continuing to grow together. With

exciting changes on the horizon, there are opportunities to enhance our ability to support community wellness.”

De Dwa da des Nye>s is often the first choice and last hope for Indigenous peoples, the board said, in supporting indigenous people in the communities they serve in a culturally-welcoming environment.

Corvairs prepare for second round against Hamilton Kilty B’s STAFF REPORT

CALEDONIA — THE CORVAIRS HEAD INTO ROUND 2 WELL-RESTED THIS WEEKEND ON SATURDAY, MARCH 22 AT THEIR HOME ARENA, THE HALDIMAND COUNTY CALEDONIA CENTRE (HCCC). PHOTO COURTESY OF THE CALEDONIA CORVAIRS FACEBOOK PAGE. \

CALEDONIA — To recap, the Caledonia Pro-fit Corvairs made positive waves after hitting the ice on Saturday, March 2, to face the Welland Jr. Canadians.

The first period started strong with Noah Beltzer, Clark Dunford and Markus Dempewolf coming through with buries within the first seven minutes. The Canadians answered once before the end of the period, 3-1 in favour of the Corvairs.

In the second, Markus Dempewolf put away a single-handed goal for the entire period, unassisted. Moving into the third, Noah Beltzer

went for his second of the game, while Markus Dempewolf earned his third and fourth, both from Tyler Savard and Jayden Lammel.

A clean game saw zero penalties in the final, and 7-1 on the scoreboard. It is safe to assume that the bye week gave the Corvairs a boost in edge.

Their second game saw the Corvairs put the stamina advantage to full use: Zachary Naherne earned the first goal just one minute into the game. While Markus Dempewolf scored his first from Gavin McAfee-Rankine.

This led to the second period where Nathan Duplessis kicked off with an unassisted goal, Markus Dempewolf scored from Jayden

Lammel and Ethan Royer scored from Aiden Wilson and Tyler Wells.

A 5-0 lead going into the third allowed the Canadians to earn two goals before the end, earmarking another win 5-2 for the Corvairs.

Their next round of games will place them in the second play-off run against the Hamilton Kitty B’s. On Friday, March 22, the Corvairs will host the first game of the series within the Haldimand County Caledonia Centre (HCCC), and look to push themselves forward beyond this series.

The Kitty B’s hold a 4 wins and 3 losses streak, while the Corvairs situate themselves as well-rested after a bye-week.

Little NHL finalizes 50th year with successes STAFF REPORT

MARKHAM — Throughout March Break last week, more than 4,000 Indigenous youth laced up their skates and took to the ice for the 50th anniversary of

the Little Native Hockey League’s (Little NHL) tournament in Markham, Ontario.

As Ontario’s largest Indigenous hockey tournament, the event welcomed players between the ages of five to 17 years old, coaches and their families from communities across the prov-

ince from March 10 to 14.

“Six Nations of the Grand River (SNGR) would like to congratulate all of the teams, winners, and finalists who took part in the who took part in this years Lil’ NHL Tournament!” Wrote the SNGR Facebook page on March 15.

A drone show, a film screening, a visit and message from Hayley Wickenheiser, an artisan village, an equipment drive, a Ted Nolan meet and greet, a photo-op with the Stanley Cup and more took place throughout the week.

This year’s tournament had the theme “Honouring Our Water,” and will see the largest number of competitors, including the highest number of female skaters, participating in its history.

Fifty years ago, the Little Native Hockey League tournament was created

by five people from Manitoulin Island, driven by the goal of providing a platform for First Nation Youth. From its beginnings in Little Current, with just 17 teams and

around 200 players, the tournament has grown exponentially this year with 245 teams and over 4,000 players.

Each founding member left a legacy that has

made an ever-growing Indigenous platform for the sport and offered so much to so many First Nations youth and communities across Ontario.

San Diego Seals steal second spot in NLL standings

By TRT Staff nationalacrosseleague.ca

This season remains an incredibly unique one as the battle for the top spots has earnestly ensued this past week.

Week 16 shaped up to be a tough one for the teams at the top of the rankings – three of the teams in last week’s top 4 lost.

On the other end, three of the four teams that were in the bottom half of last week’s top 8 finished with wins. That’s the beauty of the NLL. The league’s top teams saw some moved mountains, while every other team is continued to fight to finish the season in a playoff position.

Current rankings in standings for Week 16 place the Toronto Rock still in first place, followed by the San Diego Seals for the first time this season, then the under-dog Albany FireWolves, and the Halifax Thunderbirds, Buffa-

lo Bandits who jumped another spot, Georgia Swarm, Rochester Knighthawks, Panther City Lacrosse Club, Saskatchewan Rush, New York Riptide, Philadelphia Wings, Calgary Roughnecks, Colorado Mammoth, Vancouver Warriors who moved out of last place, and the Las Vegas Dessert Dogs.

The Toronto Rock suffered a 14-12 loss to the Buffalo Bandits, which left a burn. The Rock were up three goals with four minutes left the fourth quarter in Buffalo on Saturday night, but allowed their lead to slip away.

They were outscored 7-2 by their opponents in the final 19 minutes of the contest, and didn’t score over the final eight minutes. Now, the Rock have been riddled with injuries on the back end; once the teams sees everyone back, the Rock will likely right themselves several times over. The Rock will look to play Halifax next.

The San Diego Seals won a tight race over the Calgary Roughnecks, 7-6.

The Seals returned to the top of the rankings for the first time in five weeks. The Seals benefitted in part from the Toronto Rock and Albany FireWolves picking up losses in Week 16. But, it’s not just all about wins and losses in these rankings. The Las Vegas Desert Dogs will face them next.

The Albany FireWolves suffered a close and unexpected 11-10 loss against the Rochester Knighthawks.

The Albany FireWolves are on a two-game losing streak at the moment, and they lost both of those games to the surging Knighthawks. While the team almost pulled off a dramatic comeback victory in Week 16, the team did not execute to their standard for the first 30 minutes.

Thank You

In memory of Keith W. Van Every March 24, 2023

Thank You

We thought of you today, But that is nothing new.

We thought of you yesterday, And days before that too.

We think of you in silence, We often speak your name.

Now all we have are memories, And your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake, With which we’ll never part.

God has you in His keeping, We have you in our hearts.

-Unknown Author-

I would like to thank my children for the great 70th birthday party they had for me.
