Six Nations seeks halt to development while ground search continues at former Mohawk Institute Residential School DONNA DURIC

TWO ROW TIMES

Come see us for great savings

The Six Nations Survivors’ Secretariat, tasked with overseeing a search of the former Mohawk Institute Residential School for potential hidden graves, is calling on a Brantford developer to halt construction of a new survey just a stone’s throw away from the school, at Erie Ave. and Birkett Lane.

The secretariat, along with Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council, are also asking the City of Brantford not to give the go-ahead to the developer until the ground search is complete.

A representative for the secretariat (SNSS) says it has received no indication their wishes will be respected.

“The secretariat wrote a letter to the city asking them to cease development in the impacted area,” said Kimberly Murray, executive lead for the secretariat.

“We have not received any confirmation from any

developers that they would pause their projects.”

Calls to the developer, Kingwood Homes, have not been returned.

The search for graves using ground penetrating radar began last fall.

A criminal investigation team that includes police from Six Nations, Brantford and provincial police plans to search 600 acres on and surrounding the school on Mohawk Street in Brantford.

The search comes after thousands of children’s bodies were discovered in hidden graves at residential schools across Canada since May of 2021.

“As soon as the weather permits and the ground is dry, we will be recommencing the GPR (ground penetrating radar) of the grounds,” said Murray. “We have 30 grids already laid out that we can start on and we are working with the Police Task Force to lay more girds on the grounds surrounding the Mohawk Institute and Mohawk Chapel.”

Murray said the housing development at Erie Ave.

“The search will go on all spring, summer and fall – until we are not able to search due to weather,” said Murray. “We will have three GPR machines working during this time. We are also looking at further LiDAR (laser imaging, detecting and ranging) scans.

We have completed LiDAR on the 10 acres of the Mohawk Institute property.”

The secretariat has written a letter to the City of Brantford asking them to cease support for development in the impacted area until the grounds have been searched.

“We have not received any confirmation from any developers that they would pause their projects,” said Murray.

Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council moved on Monday at its political liaison meeting to call for a halt to construction until the secretariat deems the land in question no longer an area of concern.

The Two Row Times did not hear back from the City of Brantford by press time.

and Birkett Lane is close enough to the school and surrounding lands to cause concern.

“The 600 acres of land associated with the Mohawk Institute are lands that the children were required to farm, or lands that former principals, and employees of the Institute had homes on, or they had some control over the lands, or they are lands that the children were known to be taken to,” said Murray.

Lonny Bomberry, director of Six Nations Lands and Resources, said he met

with the secretariat and they told him they don’t want development to continue until proper archaeological assessments have been completed.

“There might be some evidence of graves there, but who knows,” said Bomberry. “It has to be investigated first. We’re in support of the survivors’ secretariat...to satisfy everyone there’s no concern there.”

The secretariat is not sure how long it will take to survey all 600 acres surrounding the school and neighbouring land.

Survivors’ Secretariat rolls out mandate for burial search monitor STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

As the weather warms up and the search for potential hidden graves at the former Mohawk Institute in Brantford re-commences, a group of survivors who attended the school has released the mandate for the human rights lawyer monitoring the search.

Dr. Beverly Jacobs, a respected Mohawk lawyer, is overseeing the search to ensure there are no human rights violations during the investigation.

Jacobs will monitor, examine, and assess the fairness, integrity and transparency of the Multi-Jurisdictional Police Task Force’s investigation into the location of miss-

ing children who attended the Mohawk Institute.

Six Nations Police, Brantford Police and the Ontario Provincial Police are among the joint police forces cooperating in the search for potential graves using ground penetrating radar.

The search began at the institute on Mohawk Street in Brantford last fall, with 600 acres total to be searched. The Six Nations Survivors’ Secretariat, formed to oversee the search, says 48 children who attended the Mohawk Institute before it closed down in 1971 have never been accounted for.

The Mohawk Institute, also known as the Mechanic’s Institute, the Mohawk Industrial School, the Mohawk Indian Residential School, the Mo-

hawk Student Residence, and the Mush Hole, was in operation from 1828 until 1971.

Six Nations children were forced to attend the church-run institute and work the farm lands surrounding the school.

The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation’s National Student’s Memorial contains the names of 48 children that died while at the Mohawk Institute. The burial locations of these children is not yet known.

Last year, the Survivors Secretariat requested a death investigation into the 48 identified children to determine where they might be buried.

The secretariat also requested an investigation into whether or not additional children died at the Mohawk Institute and where they may be buried.

“It is clear that proper and full death investigations, coronial and/or police, were not conducted in relation to all of the deaths of children at the Mohawk Institute during the years it was in operation,” the secretariat has

stated.

The Six Nations Police Service, the Brantford Police Service and the Ontario Provincial Police have agreed to create a Multi-jurisdictional Police Task Force to work with the Office of the Chief Coroner to investigate the deaths of children at the Mohawk Institute.

The Survivors’ Group of the Mohawk Institute established a Survivors’ Secretariat which includes the mandate to assist with creating and coordinating the death investigation processes and protocols that are culturally relevant and responsive.

Jacobs, as the human rights monitor, is tasked with gathering information regarding a specific situation or region over time with the goal of engaging in advocacy to address human rights violations. This role also involves a process of documenting violations and practices related to rights so that the information can be categorized, verified, and used effectively.

It also includes observing events, visiting sites,

and discussions with government authorities to obtain information and to pursue remedies and other immediate follow-up.

“Given the long and documented history of the failures of the justice system — in particular the death investigation system as it relates to the deaths of Indigenous people — the Survivors’ Group wishes to appoint, through the Survivors’ Secretariat, an Indigenous Human Rights Monitor.

This individual will monitor, verify and report back to the Survivors the work of the Multi-Jurisdictional Task Force investigation.”

To conduct their role, the Indigenous Human Rights Monitor may: -Review any documents or information they deem useful for their work from the task force -Communicate with the Joint Management Team and/or Major Case Manager of the investigators to the Task Force on any matter relevant to their mandate -Meet with anyone able to provide information relevant to the assess-

ment of the investigation’s fairness, integrity, and transparency -Visit any locations related to the investigation, as deemed necessary by the monitor -Review any statements, whether they are in the form of transcripts, video or by witnessing them as they are being collected from a nearby room via video link or other viewing means as necessitated by the circumstances.

Jacobs is not a member of the task force or secretariat and is not required to disclose to the task force any notes, documents, and records prepared or obtained by, or given to them.

Jacobs is expected to provide a final written report of her work and findings relating to her assessment of the fairness, integrity and transparency of the investigation.

The final report will be made public by the Survivors’ Secretariat.

30 km Around the Bay for language immersion school

TWO ROW TIMES

When I decided to run the 30 km Around the Bay Road Race, I knew without a doubt what I’d be running for: to raise funds for the construction of a new language immersion school on Six Nations.

I’ve been following the lives and journey of Kawenni:io/Gaweni:yo staff and students since the mid-2000s and the thought of such a unique school has always intrigued me.

But the learning quarters of the students and staff has been less than ideal as they’ve shifted from one makeshift building to another.

Currently, the K to 12 students of the language immersion school are housed on the second floor of the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena.

School staff, parents and community volunteers have been working tirelessly to raise an estimated $17 million to build a stand-alone school beside Six Nations Polytechnic on Fourth Line Road, where land has already been designated for the much-needed school.

But government funding has proved difficult to

obtain.

That’s why I decided my 30 km Around the Bay Road Race would be dedicated to raising funds towards the construction of a new Kawenni:io/ Gaweni:yo school building.

And I am thrilled and very grateful to the Albert Group for providing one of the largest donations to the fundraiser.

The company gifted $500 towards the fundraiser, which I plan to continue in various forms even though the race is over.

“I’ve been involved with language development in the community since 1983 and so the move to revitalize the language is more than important,” said Claudine Van-Every Albert, of the Six Nations-based, family-owned accounting business Albert Group of Companies. “I just think that any support that we can get is very helpful in terms of bringing the languages back alive again. It’s getting better. It’s important to support these initiatives.”

Sunday’s run was an epic adventure in miserable weather but none of the participants bowed out.

My fellow runners Brenda Mitten, Kris Davis

and Joel Kennedy, of Oneida, braved the cold wind, hills and flurries around the Hamilton bay at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday morning testing our resolve to see this challenge through to the end.

Mitten and Davis ran the 5 km race while Kennedy and I ran 30 km.

Since 2015, when Kennedy began running, he has lost 150 lbs and went on to start participating in marathons, which are 42.1 km.

His achievements are nothing short of inspirational. In 2016, Kennedy also started the Indigenous Running Club based in London, Ont. Last October, he participated in the Chicago marathon.

This year, he will be running in the most prestigious marathon in the world – the Boston Marathon, as a charity runner.

He completed the 30 km Around the Bay Road Race in 3:42:17. I finished at a personal best of 3:19:26.

Mitten completed her 5 km with a time of 48:57 and Davis finished her 5 km run with a time of 37:04.

Congratulations to all the runners and let’s get more Six Nations runners out next year and raise more money for our favourite causes!

Lake Erie connector project consultation meetings see dismal turnout DONNA DURIC

donna@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

An in-person meeting will be held in April to get more community input on the Lake Erie Connector Project after a series of online consultation meetings this past month saw a dismal turnout.

“On Zoom, we have seen attendance between three and 14 attendees,” said Alysha Filer, communications coordinator for the Six Nations of the Grand River Economic Development Corporation. “Our second presentation on Facebook Live saw attendees ranging from two (to) nine attendees at any given time. We’d really like to hear from more of our community

members, so we’re hoping more will attend both the online sessions and the in-person event.”

The in-person event will be held April at 6:00 p.m. at the old tourism building on Chiefswood Road.

The final webinar will be on Apr. 20 at 6:00 p.m.

The online meetings were held due to Covid restrictions.

SNGRDC is seeking community input on a massive electrical line spanning from Ontario to Pennsylvania under Lake Erie.

Known as the Lake Erie Connector Project, the line has the potential to bring Six Nations about $44 to $90 million in revenue over 45 years or more depending on whether or not the community agrees to the accommodations being

offered by ITC Investment Holdings.

The LEC project is a bi-directional electricity cable being developed by ITC Investment Holdings as a solution to help address what it says are inefficiencies in Ontario’s power grid.

The project will include a connection to the Ontario grid at the former Nanticoke Generating Station, an electricity converter station located across the road and installation of an underground cable from the converter station along Haldimand Road 55 leading to Lake Erie.

The cable will be directionally drilled under the shore to avoid shoreline impacts, out into Lake Erie where a marine crew will lay the cable across to Erie,

Pennsylvania. Any excess of electricity generated in Ontario will be sold to the United States and vice-versa.

The LEC project has seen the first and only community consultation process in almost two years, ever since a worldwide pandemic was declared in March 2020.

SNGRDC says, “there is a tight timeline for this investment review, so it is critical that we hear from our community.”

Community feedback will be captured in a final report to be presented to the Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council and the SNGRDC board will recommend whether or not to accept the offer from ITC Holdings.

Autism spectrum disorders underdiagnosed in Indigenous people DONNA DURIC

donna@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Six Nations is one of many Indigenous communities across Canada where autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are underdiagnosed.

Jacqueline Smith, Program Supervisor at Six Nations Child and Youth, says diagnostic rates are lower here even though statistics are scarce on the reserve.

“We do not have specific stats but we do know that there is an underrepresentation in this community compared

to children identified/ diagnoses in surrounding areas,” said Smith. “This is one of the main reasons why we are expanding our programs on Six Nations to ensure we are able to support children with ASD and their families.”

This Saturday, April 2, marks annual World Autism Awareness Day. There is no dedicated autism support program at Six Nations Health Services – yet.

The team at Six Nations Health is working with Autism Ontario to increase programming on the reserve to help people with ASD. Autism Spectrum Dis-

order refers to a range of symptoms that can affect a person emotionally, intellectually, socially and behaviourally. People with ASD can have interpersonal difficulties, trouble recognizing social cues others take for granted, rigid behaviour patterns and obsessions with routine or certain subjects, dislike socializing, refuse to make eye contact, and engage in “stimming” behaviours (self-stimulation) such as hand-flapping, rocking back and forth and humming, among a host of other symptoms. They can also be overwhelmed by too much sensory input, via sight, sound, taste,

touch, etc.

Some people with ASD are completely non-verbal (unable to speak), while others on the spectrum can have advanced language skills and a higher-than-average intellect.

That’s why it’s a spectrum, as autism-type symptoms can manifest so broadly among different people.

Some famous people who have ASD include Jerry Seinfeld, Carl Sagan, Sir Isaac Newton, and Mozart, to name a few.

Some require intensive, daily support in the home and school, while others live independently.

Smith said Six Nations is soon going to be rolling

out new autism services to complement the existing services for youth with ASD on the reserve.

“We are looking to expand programs connected to the Ontario Autism Program,” she said, with more updates on what those programs will look like to come.

Currently, there are no diagnostic services for young people with ASD on Six Nations. Those suspected to be on the spectrum are referred off-reserve for a diagnosis, and that’s something the health team at Six Nations Child and Youth can help families with, said Smith.

“Besides that, we do

offer services through Six Nations of the Grand River that support children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, for example, case management, speech, occupational therapy, etc.,” she said. “We would connect families with resources within the community and surrounding communities. If there is an unmet need, we can connect with Jordan’s Principle, as well.”

Makasa Looking Horse heads to Albequerque for Gathering of Nations Six Nations water & climate advocate running for Miss Indian World at Gathering of Nations powwow JACE KOBLUN

jace@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

COVID-19 restrictions caused the cancellation of the Miss Indian World Pageant the last two years, but this year, 25-year-old Makasa Looking Horse is ready to compete. She is heading to Albuquerque, N.M., in April seeking the crown with the support of her community and family behind her.

The Miss Indian World Pageant is the largest cultural title for young Indigenous women who are 18 to 25 years old. Miss Indian World is a Cultural Goodwill Ambassador to all cultures presenting and representing Native American, Indigenous and First Nations tribal culture. The Pageant is a week-long exchange of ideas, traditions and goodwill among the young women vying for the title. Miss Indian World is crowned at the Gathering of Nations Powwow.

Looking Horse was born on the Six Nations of the Grand River territory and is Mohawk and Lakota. She has completed rites of passage through both Lakota and Mohawk ceremonies known as Ishnati and Ohero:kon and has been a women’s Sundance leader for 11 years. Looking Horse is also a youth leader on Six Nations for water protection and security.

Having held many events, runs and marches for safe water and the current climate crisis, she said she does not shy away from tackling tough issues Indigenous people are facing on Six Nations and around the world. She also handed a cease and desist letter to the CEO of Nestle

after securing it from the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Council. To her, the Miss Indian World crown would give her the platform to have more conversations about her research, talk more about climate change and continue making a difference for Indigenous people everywhere.

“When we are dealing with issues like the climate crisis, or extractions from Indigenous lands and treaties not being respected — we all face that no matter what community we come from. Colonialism happened to all of us.

Standing Rock was a good example of that. Some horrible things happened, but all different kinds of people came together for that,” said Looking Horse, who is the firstborn and only daughter of Chief Arvol Looking Horse.

Looking Horse attended Kawenni:io Mohawk immersion elementary school, completed the Six Nations Traditional Medicine Practitioners course and is a student in Indigenous Studies at McMaster University. She is a youth leader of Ohneganos, a Global Water Futures research project and hosts a live-streamed podcast series called Ohneganos: Let's Talk Water, which recently won the David Suzuki People's Choice Award.

Among being invited to speak at United Nations events and other forums, Looking Horse has created short films published on www.Oheganos.ca and is currently producing a film on Indigenous youth and ecological grief. She has been featured in Chatelaine magazine, VICE news and multiple other media outlets advocating for Indige-

nous water rights.

The Two Row Times caught up with Looking Horse in an interview over Zoom this week to chat about her journey to the pageant: TRT: What are you most excited about as you are getting ready to compete in Miss Indian World?

ML: I’m most excited to attend the Gathering of Nations and meet all of the amazing Miss Indian World contestants. It’s a very extensive and intense competition which I am very excited for. The pageant is five days long and you are in the care of the Miss Indian World committee basically from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Every day there is something different you

are judged on. For example, one day you are judged on a personal interview, then the next there is a public speaking contest. One day involves dancing and another is showcasing your traditional talent. And then there is the crowning. You have to be ready and look the part always. Have your regalia ready. Be your best self. I’m most excited for the challenge of trying to be my best self every day of the pageant.

TRT: What would winning the title mean to you?

ML: You have a lot of power when you win Miss Indian World and you get into places that you wouldn’t normally be invited to. Miss Indian World is meant to be a role

model and overturn the stereotypes that have been placed on Indigenous people forever. Winning the crown would mean that I would have more opportunities to spread awareness of the climate crisis in Canada, particularly in First Nations communities; including Six Nations. I don’t think people realize or understand that we have a huge water and global climate crisis on our hands and we need to continue advocating for clean water everywhere. Winning would allow me to continue my work on a larger platform to make sure our next generation has clean drinking water.

TRT: Do you have friends that have participated before? What did you learn from hearing about their experiences?

ML: I’ve had a lot of friends and family suggest I run for the crown over the years but it wasn’t the time for it. And as a respectful and loyal friend, I wanted to make sure other friends who were running had their time to shine. This is the last year I can compete because I am 25 years old.

I will be finishing school soon and I know there is a high level of commitment to the pageant required after you are crowned for the entire year. I will finally have the time and capacity to fit that into my schedule.

TRT: What talent will you be presenting?

ML: I am going to be demonstrating how to make a corn husk mat but first I’m going to talk about the Three Sisters. We use everything on the corn — the kernels, silk, husk — and one of the ways that we use the husk is to make mats. I’m going to demonstrate how to braid a husk

TRT: What portion of the pageant are you most excited about?

ML: I’m most excited for the crowning. And most nervous about the talent portion because it has to be so precise. You need to be great with your words and not stutter, making sure everything goes smooth.

More things can go wrong in the talent portion. I’m most excited for the crowning because by that time most of the contestants will be close to one another.

We will be happy for one another whether we win or lose because we’ll have built that relationship over the last five or six days.

TRT: In what ways can the community help you?

Do you need to raise funds?

ML: I have a GoFundMe set up if anyone is interested in supporting me or sponsoring me. With a sponsorship, I would thank them in interviews after the pageant and on my show. Their company name would then be thanked publicly and broadcast across my platforms — from interviews to my show and thank you speech.

Mohawk community in Quebec voted in favour of exhumation of allegedly abusive priest CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

MONTREAL — The Mohawk community of Kahnawake voted this weekend to move the remains of a priest facing sexual abuse allegations.

Several Kahnawake residents came forward last summer with allegations that Rev. Leon Lajoie had abused them, and demanded that his remains be removed from the community south of Montreal. ``I feel relieved, I was in shock they had to tell me three times that they voted in favour of his removal,'' said Melissa Montour-Lazare, the spokesperson for the group demanding the exhumation. ``I'm happy for the survivors and wish them well on their healing journey. They can rest their minds now.''

The Mohawk Council of Kahnawake shared the results on Saturday, saying 420 people voted. While two votes were invalid, 223 people voted in favour of Lajoie's exhumation, against 195 people who wanted to keep his remains in the community.

Lajoie, a Jesuit assigned to Kahnawake from 1961 to 1990, was buried in the community in 1999 and will be moved to Saint-Jerome, Que., at the Jesuits' gravesite.

The council previously said it sought the community's input regarding the exhumation because the former elected chiefs agreed to Lajoie's burial without seeking community members' consent.

A non-Indigenous person doesn't have the right to burial on Mohawk territory, but the council said an exception was made because of Lajoie's connection to the community.

Montour-Lazare, however, said in a recent interview that holding a vote on this matter divided the community at the expense of sexual abuse survivors. ``It puts the traditional people, who don't participate in voting, in a bad situation,'' she said, ex-

plaining that voting goes against traditional laws and beliefs. ``They are backed into a corner.''

The decision comes after the Jesuits' independent investigation into the allegations failed to turn up evidence of abuse, according to a report released Feb. 28. ``Our detailed report does not currently support any allegation of childhood sexual abuse

by Father Leon Lajoie, S.J. in Kahnawa:ke during the period between 19561990,'' the report read.

The council declined to comment on the report and on the result of the vote. ``The Lajoie issue is being treated as an internal matter to the community,'' Justus Polson-Lahache, a spokesperson for the council, said in a statement. ``As a result, we are not fulfilling any external media requests on this issue.''

Private investigation firm King International Advisory Group _ commissioned by the Jesuits _ reviewed archive documents and conducted 20 interviews between November 2021 and February with community members ``who had pertinent information.''

The report identified three alleged complainants, but only two agreed to testify.

Brian King, who founded the investigation firm and was the lead on the report, said he was expecting more testimonies after reading media coverage claiming that up to 20 alleged victims had come forward. ``They were speaking to the media, so why would they speak to the media and not us,'' King questioned in a recent interview. ``When I have been involved in cases where there are as many as allegedly 20 victims, there's gonna be some that are gonna come forward.''

King said the investigation didn't substantiate that there were other victims, though his report acknowledged that there are several reasons why

survivors would opt not to report allegations of sexual abuse. ``Some of these include the fear of being ostracized by family members, members of the community, a feeling of shame, a fear of disrupting the lives of loved ones, the fear of being branded a liar,'' the report read.

Montour-Lazare said the report did exactly that by offering what she believes to be a misleading conclusion. ``It's diminishing, it's deceiving and very hurtful,'' she said. ``This is the prime example of why people don't come forward. It took them enough to say they are one of them ? you can't rush something like that.

You can't force somebody to make a statement.''

Montour-Lazare declined to provide an account of how many alleged survivors were in the group, but said not every one of them identified Lajoie as their perpetrator. ``They said it was different ones that were passing through the parish or were there helping at the time,'' Montour-Lazare said.

In fact, while the investigation didn't support any findings against Lajoie, it concluded that one of the complainants was the victim of ``a serious sexual assault on one occasion at St. Francis-Xavier Mission'' between 1976 and 1979.

King said there will likely be a continued investigation into the matter, as witnesses provided information on three individuals associated with the church that had been suspected of child-related abuse in that period.

The Jesuits acknowledged the report last week, and said in a statement they were acting on the recommendations to support, listen and respond to victims of abuse.

They also maintained their desire to follow the council's lead on this issue, and pay for all related costs of the exhumation and reburial outside the community.

COVID cases on the rise as spring wave expected

We are now accepting applications for our program, Year One - Cayuga Immersion for Adults, 2022-2023. This FULL-TIME program runs SeptemberJune, Monday-Friday, 9am-4pm.

Deadline to apply is Friday, April 8th, 2022 at 3pm.

OHSWEKEN — Six Nations is seeing local case numbers rise as provincial health officials are predicting the arrival of a spring wave of a new Omicron sub variant BA.2.

SNGR is reporting an increase in cases with 15 active cases, 28 people in self isolation and 2 people in hospital.

Provincially, COVID 19 hospitalizations in Ontario rose 20 per cent in just one day — from Monday to Tuesday.

Health officials in the US say BA.2 variant infections make up 86% of reported cases though the actual number is likely much higher due to a reduced number of cases being tested as well as the

variant being tougher to confirm by either a RAT or PCR test.

BA.2 is considered to be even more transmissible than the original Omicron variant but so far is not being noted for more serious disease.

Ontario reported 790 people in hospital with COVID-19 and 165 in intensive care Tuesday, up from 655 in hospital and 158 in intensive care on Monday.

Ontario's top doctor, Dr. Kieran Moore, has said he expected the BA.2 variant to become dominant this month.

Health officials across Ontario say that the province is in for a spring and sixth COVID wave as the new Omicron sub-variant BA.2 arrives in new cases.

By TRT Staff NATIONAL — On Tuesday, March 22, the Aboriginal Sport Circle, along with the Canada Games Council and the Coaches Association of Canada highlighted the coaches selected to participate in the 2023 Aboriginal Apprentice Coach Program (AACP).

Apprentice coaches will work with the provincial and territorial aboriginal sport bodies and provincial and territorial coaching representatives as they participate in NCCP training over the next year to gain competition-development certification and valuable experience as a part of the team staff in the sport of their choice, in their home communities.

“We congratulate the coaches selected to the 2023 AACP and look forward to following their journey towards the 2023 Canada Winter Games on Prince Edward Island,” said Kelly-Ann Paul, President and CEO of the Canada Games Council in an ASC media release.

“The Canada Games spark greatness in the next generation of leaders and that includes the coaches of tomorrow.

Some priorities from the AACP include building coaching capacity within Aboriginal Communities across Canada, providing

apprentice coaches with domestic multi-sport games experience, expose apprentice coaches to elite/high performance and to equip coaches with the skills necessary

to play a meaningful role during their Canada Games experience.

“Coaches are integral to the successful development of Canada's next generation of athletes, as

well as to the next generation of coaches. We are proud to continue our partnership with the Aboriginal Sport Circle and Canada Games Council to support the successful

learning, development, and mentorship of coaches through this unique program, while building coaching capacity within Indigenous communities across Canada,” said Lor-

raine Lafrenière, CEO of the Coaching Association of Canada in the same ASC media release.

Lady Snipers take the WALL Cup

By TRT Staff

Snipers won 18-7 against the Peterborough Timbermen at the ILA this weekend.

Six Nations Snipers remain on top

By TRT Staff SIX NATIONS — The Six Nations Snipers played the Peterborough Timbermen last Sunday at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena.

Sitting in the fourth seed, the Timermen had a slow start in the first period, as the Snipers amped up scoring right away.

Goals came from Kahn General (2), Justin Martin, Tye Argent and John-ny Powless, delivering a goalless first quarter 5-0.

Wasting no time, the second period opened with a starting goal from the Timbermen, but just as it seemed they would catch up, they were thrust down the scoreboard again. Goals for the Snipers came from Cheyton King, Kahn General for his third, Daylen Hill, Ross Hill, and Jeremy Bomberry at the end. This left the game 10-6 for the Snipers.

The third period saw no goals from the Timbermen, but Tye Argent came in for his second, Kev-in Owen Hill and Jeremy Bomberry gave supporting goals. This closed the third quarter 13-6 for the Snipers.

The final period saw little redemption for the Timbermen, with a single goal to start the period.

This was followed by goals from Rodd Squire, Scott Del Zotto, Johnny Powless, and Ross Hill. The game finalized with an 11 point deficit, 18-7 for the Snipers.

The next away game for the Snipers will fall on Saturday, April 2, at 7 p.m., at the Toronto Rock Athletic Centre. The next home game will come on Sunday, April 3 at 4 p.m., right after the Whitby Steelhawks and Paris RiverWolves match up at 1 p.m..

LKS Memorial Foundation open for scholarship applicants

By TRT Staff SIX NATIONS — Closing on April 8 of this year for the summer season, the LKS Memorial Foundation is accepting applications for those registering into the Six Nations Minor Lacrosse Association for the summer season, to provide families lacrosse sponsorships.

The LKS Memorial Foundation is a non-profit organization created by the family and to honour Linda K. Smith, June 1957 - June 2020, who passed away very suddenly at the age of 62.

Linda was an avid lacrosse fan who attended many lacrosse games, and always supported the teams by purchasing programs and 50/50 tickets.

The eligibility for the sponsorship includes a desire to play lacrosse,

financial disadvantage for extracurricular activities and low to medium income.

The application is available on the top right of the LKS Memorial website.

“We are keeping her memory and the love for the game alive by covering registration costs to eligible children and youth in our community of Six Nations and surrounding area,” reads the LKS Memorial Foundation website.

Those interested can fill out an application and email it to LKSMemorialFoundation@gmail.com or call to arrange a pick-up or drop-off. Those interested can also be nominated—a letter must come from a third party nominating a family, child or youth stating why they can benefit from the LKSMF sponsorship.

CALL TODAY AND GET YOUR MEMBERSHIP.

EDUCATION…A PATH TO TOMORROW

LIKE US ON FACEBOOK

LIKE US ON FACEBOOK Throughout my post-secondary education, I feel as if I’ve been in a constant state of grief.

EDUCATION…A PATH TO TOMORROW Many great people in my life, those of whom I consider to be inspirations to my language learning, have passed on since I’ve began this program. There were times when I felt immense loneliness and it was in those moments that I had to remember, as Hodino̲ hsǫ́:nih, I am never alone. The earth that provides for me is my mother, the moon that balances me is my grandmother, the sun that helps grow my sustenance is my brother, the stars that guide me are my ancestors; I am surrounded by family, indefinitely. To anyone that is struggling in their education or any aspect of their life, I offer you encouragement and strength to continue. I implore you to find out how you relate to your surroundings. Sometimes we forget just how much support we really have. If you’ve ever considered learning your language or more about your culture and didn’t grow up with that knowledge, begin to ask questions. It may seem daunting, but by putting ourselves in those uncomfortable situations, we are helping ourselves to grow. No one is going to do it for us, but the right people are willing to help. A:sgęnǫhge̲hęk. I hope you all will be well. Nya:węh, da:netoh.

Through your generosity, Deacon was able to play with the Hagersville Hawks Rep team, winning two gold medal championships and one silver medal, even though their season ended with a loss to Tillsonburg in the semifinals, this was, without a doubt, the best hockey experience of his life.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE #3 Downtown Streetscaping Class Environmental Assessment The Study The City of Brantford has initiated a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for streetscaping the Downtown to improve walkability, accessibility, and underground infrastructure to allow for development, enhance the infrastructure for all transportation modes, and increase pedestrian capacity.

The goal of the streetscaping improvements is to create a Downtown that is attractive, vibrant and safe for users and provides the infrastructure needed to accommodate expected growth.

The Process The EA is being undertaken in accordance with the planning and design process for Schedule “C” projects as outlined in the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. This study will define the problem, identify and evaluate alternative solutions to the problem, evaluate alternative design concepts for the solution, and recommend a preferred design concept after assessing potential environmental impacts and identifying mitigation measures associated with the preferred design.
