receiving compensation in $23

billion

settlement

on discrimination of First Nations Child and Family Services Program

On August 14 National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak announced that distribution of compensation to eligible claimants has begun under the $23 billion federal settlement for discrimination in the First Nations Child and Family Services (FNCFS) Program and Jordan’s Principle.

Deloitte Canada, the claims administrator, is processing claims received in the first two Classes in the settlement, the Removed Child and Removed Child Family Classes. More than 40,000 Claims in these Classes have been received so far.

“This is a significant milestone in a long legal battle by the Assembly of First Nations and partner organizations to secure compensation for those harmed by Canada’s discrimination in services that should have been helping the most vulnerable,” said the national chief. “No amount of money can ever make up for the harms they experienced, but the compensation is an im-

portant acknowledgement of the discrimination they suffered, and we hope it provides some measure

of comfort. To see compensation flowing just five months after launching the process is a signifi-

cant achievement and we thank Deloitte for their work and commitment.”

“I express my deep respect and admiration for the Representative Plaintiffs who demonstrated such strength and courage throughout this process,” continued Woodhouse Nepinak. “They have spent years advocating on behalf of First Nations children and families affected by these broken systems.

I am honoured to have worked alongside them to reach this point. I thank each and every one of you.”

“First Nations survivors and victims of the discriminatory child welfare system are finally receiving a one-time payment to support their healing and wellbeing,” added Ontario Regional Chief Abram Benedict. “This is an important step toward justice. Compensation addresses past harms, yet we must keep moving forward to prevent future harm and ensure our systems protect the holistic well-being of children, youth, and families. Survivors cannot wait any longer—they need action now.”

Eligible members of the two Classes who have not

yet applied for compensation should do so as soon as possible. There are time limits for making a Claim: Claims for compensation under the first two Classes can be submitted until March 2028, or three years from when a Claimant reaches the age of majority if they were not of age on March 10, 2025. The Claims Process has been designed to be trauma-informed, non-invasive, and with Claims Helpers available to support with documents and questions. Information is available online at www. fnchildclaims.ca.

Those who may be eligible for compensation under this Claims Process include First Nations individuals who were removed from their homes as children between April 1, 1991, and March 31, 2022, while living on reserve or in the Yukon and were placed into care funded by Indigenous Services Canada, as well as their Caregiving Parents or Caregiving Grandparents.

Housing project proposed near cannabis grow-op on Fourth Line

A $9.9 million housing project is being proposed next to a controversial cannabis grow-op on Fourth Line Road in Ohsweken.

Some local residents have already expressed concerns about Eh ni da se - the name for the joint project between Two Row Architect and Horizon Legacy, which means “new moon” in Cayuga.

Brian Porter, principal owner of Two Row Architect, says he’s eager to get the project off the ground after bringing it to Six Nations Elected Council for approval this month.

She said project partners should consider the smell before putting a housing project in that vicinity.

The project partners said it is a “groundbreaking project” aimed at tackling the Indigenous housing crisis in Canada.

Horizon Legacy and Two Row Architect said it will be the world’s largest Indigenous housing project constructed using onsite robotics.

Danielle Miller, who lives right beside the proposed project, said her house stinks from the cannabis grow-op where the proposed housing project is slated to be built on Fourth Line Road near First Nations Cable.

The partners said the name symbolizes “new beginnings. The development features a striking arc-shaped floor plan inspired by the moon’s form, and reflects the

aligned vision of the two partners.”

Phase one will deliver a three-story residential complex with up to 30 units, with potential for expansion in a second phase.

By combining Horizon Legacy’s strength in real estate development with Two Row Architect’s knowledge of Indigenous architecture and community engagement, the partners say the project will showcase how housing “can be built rapidly on reserve while demonstrating the versatility of Horizon’s automated building construction system to deliver both low rise and multi-story housing solutions.”

Indigenous communities across Canada face some of the nation’s most severe housing challeng-

es—characterized by overcrowding, deteriorating infrastructure, and limited access to new construction.

Porter, who has spent three decades as an architect, said, “this partnership is about more than building homes—it’s about claiming our power and sovereignty through innovation and designs that respects Indigenous values and identity,” said Porter. “By combining our traditions with cutting-edge technology, we’re setting a new path forward for our communities.”

Nhung Nguyen, CEO of Horizon Legacy, said this type of technology is redefining the construction landscape.

“This project demonstrates the power of flexible automation—proving

that robots can create organic, architecturally distinctive, and culturally meaningful designs,” said Nguyen. “We’re breaking free from the boxy, repetitive forms that have long defined factory-built housing.”

Porter said homes can be built on other areas of the reserve, too, and he has talked to some wealthy landowners on Six Nations about the possibility of using their property for future housing sites.

Porter said the cannabis company is looking at installing filters in the greenhouses at the growop to help reduce the smell.

“I can’t answer too many questions about the grow op,” he said other than, “they’re doing what they can to mitigate the

smell from the operation. I know these smells are an issue. I think they’re doing what they can to filter (the smell). There’s nothing really that pungent from my standpoint.”

He suggested Six Nations develop an odour by-law to help mitigate odour issues.

Porter did not provide any public notice about the project to local neighbours or the community.

He said if that’s part of Six Nations’ development policy he’d be “happy to comply” with it.

“We’ve got nothing to hide.”

Most of the units will be suited for single people.

The housing development will be a gated community surrounded by fencing.

The SNAP program is a 12-week, in-person initiative designed for families with children aged 6 to 11 who are facing behavioral challenges.

We accommodate two age groups: 6-8 and 9-11, encompassing both girls and boys, with mandatory parent/caregiver groups. Meals will be provided during the sessions. If you require assistance with transportation or childcare, please do not hesitate to contact us so we can explore available support options.

Low water levels along the Grand

By Donna Duric

Water users throughout the Grand River watershed are being asked to cut their consumption by 10 per cent, due to dry conditions as a result of low precipitation and high air temperatures this summer.

Low and variable rainfall since June has contributed to reduced stream flows in several tributaries throughout the watershed, and the Grand River Conservation Authority is using its large upstream reservoirs to augment river flows to maintain low flow targets downstream.

The request came from the Grand River Low Water Response Team during a virtual meeting on Aug. 21.

The team is made up of representatives of major water users including municipalities, farmers, golf course operators, aggregate businesses and others.

The Low Water Response Team placed the whole watershed at a Level One under the Ontario Low Water Response Program.

Level One results in a request for a voluntary 10 per cent reduction in water consumption by all water users, including municipalities, aggregate operations, golf courses, water bottlers, farms for irrigation and private users. For watershed residents, the best immediate action is to follow their municipal outdoor water

use bylaws, which limit watering to specific days and times.

The GRCA’s large reservoirs are within their normal operating range for this time of year, except Conestogo Lake reservoir, which is being drawn down to accommodate concrete repair on the upstream side of the Conestogo Dam. The GRCA is operating these reservoirs carefully to meet flow targets downstream, while keeping water in storage to continue to support flow augmentation.

Six Nations of the Grand River also gets some of its drinking water from the Grand River. The conditions of the reservoirs are being closely monitored.

Six Nations remains under state of emergency from June flooding

Six Nations of the Grand River (SNGR) remains under a state of emergency as active response and remediation efforts continue due to flooding that happened during a torrential downpour on June 18.

SNGR said they received an Industrial Hygienist Assessment report regarding Iroquois Lodge on July 25 indicating black water damage impacted wall and floor finishes throughout the facility.

A walk-through of the lodge during the remediation phase on Aug. 5 demonstrated the widespread and in-depth impacts to Iroquois Lodge.

Subsequent meetings with power of attorneys, residents and staff resulted in a decision to keep residents at a long-term care home in Delhi while a new Iroquois Lodge is built.

“SNGR remains fully engaged with the Ministry of Long-Term Care to expedite the timeline for a new build of the Iroquois Lodge LongTerm Care Home,” elected council said in a press release. “The Emergency Control Group (ECG) is committed to providing updates to the community as new information becomes available.”

The ECG group said it was thankful to the staff, residents, and families who have been affected by the recent flooding.

“To our residents who were displaced—we recog-

nize the hardship, uncertainty, and disruption this has caused. Your patience, strength, and understanding during this difficult time are truly commendable. To our dedicated staff and caregivers—your tireless efforts in ensuring the safety, comfort, and care of our residents have been extraordinary. You have gone above and beyond, often under challenging circumstances, and your commitment has been the foundation of the resilience shown throughout this ordeal. Together, through cooperation and compassion, we continue to move forward in the recovery process. Nia:wen kowa to each of you for your support, patience, and unwavering dedication to one another.”

Six Nations Polytechnic Celebrates Accreditation of the Advanced Diploma in Ogwehoweh Language

OHSWEKEN – Six Nations Polytechnic (SNP) is pleased to announce another historic milestone for SNP with the accreditation of the Advanced Diploma in Ǫgwehǫweh Language (ADOL) through the Indigenous Advanced Education and Skills Council (IAESC). This milestone marks the first time a standalone advanced diploma in Ǫgwehǫweh language has been granted by an Indigenous Institution.

Language acquisition remains a goal within the Six Nations of the Grand River community. To revitalize these languages, many institutes within the community, including Six Nations Polytechnic, are currently offering programs that immerse learners with the culture and knowledge carried through our languages. This program’s existence is in response to the community’s need and demand for opportunities to continue language learning at a more advanced level.

The Advanced Diploma in Ǫgwehǫweh Language Program offers learners two years of study and over 2400 hours of immersion language instruction. The program is offered at the Six Nations Campus, in a cohort delivery that focuses on one of the Ǫgwehǫweh

languages per each cohort program cycle.

Upon successful completion of the program, students will obtain an Advanced Diploma in Ǫgwehǫweh Language, in one of the following streams:

• Cayuga Language – Gayogo̱hǫ́:nǫ’ Gawęnǫdahgǫh

• Onondaga Language –Onoda’gega’

• Mohawk Language –Kanienke:ha

• Oneida Language –On^yota’a:ka

• Seneca Language –Onödowa’ga: Gawë:no’

• Tuscarora Language –Skarò˙rə̨ˀ

“SNP’s vision is to achieve international distinction for excellence in Indigenous education, Indigenous language revitalization, and continuance of Indigenous knowledge. The Advanced Diploma in Ǫgwehǫweh Language is one more step that SNP is taking towards the critical development of quality assured Ǫgwehǫweh language programs and language revitalization.”

- Robin Staats, Dean of Language, Culture and Lifelong Learning – Six Nations Polytechnic

“The Advanced Diploma in Ǫgwehǫweh Language adds to the growing suite of language programs at SNP and has been intentionally designed to

support advanced language proficiency. Many community members have contributed to the development and accreditation of the ADOL, so on

behalf of SNP I extend our sincere gratitude.”

- Rebecca Jamieson, President & CEO – Six Nations Polytechnic In the Fall of 2026,

the Gayogo̱hǫ́:nǫ’ Gawęnǫdahgǫh (Cayuga language stream) will be offered full-time, incorporating suggestions from the community,

students, and instructors. Please watch for the advertisement as the new 2026/2027 Six Nations Polytechnic Viewbook becomes available.

Ontario launching program to build long-term care homes

Eligible Indigenous operators

JACE

jace@tworowtimes.com

The Ontario government is launching a new Capital Funding Program (CFP) to build more long-term care homes faster, especially in regions like the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) and northern Ontario impacted by labour shortages, supply chain constraints and other challenges.

This innovative new funding model is part of the government’s plan to protect Ontario by creating good jobs and building for the future, while ensuring seniors get the quality of care and quality of life they need and deserve.

“As Ontario ages, we need to protect our province by building long-term care homes faster, smarter

and in the places that need them most,” said Natalia Kusendova-Bashta, Minister of Long-Term Care. “The success we’re already seeing at sites like Maxville Manor shows our new capital funding program will help us meet our ambitious construction targets and ensure Ontario families can receive worldclass care close to home, for generations to come.”

To support more longterm care operators in the face of rising costs, the CFP will shift to a flexible, percentage-based funding model from the previous fixed, cost-per-bed model to better address construction and land cost variations across Ontario.

The new model will provide increased ministry funding equivalent to a maximum of 85 per cent of total eligible expenditures with a maximum that’s

determined by location across four market segments. Not-for-profit operators will receive ministry funding earlier so that projects can advance to construction while eligible hospital and Indigenous operators can receive the entire amount of funding

during their project’s construction period.

These changes build on the government’s progress in providing nearly four hours of direct daily care to every long-term care resident last year and will ensure funding and supports are tailored

to the specific needs and conditions of each region, making it easier to build long-term care homes across the province.

The CFP will enable more redevelopment projects like Maxville Manor, a long-term care home in Maxville where construction is now beginning, thanks to the increased certainty and support the new model will provide.

The not-for-profit home is upgrading its 122 existing beds and adding 38 new beds by renovating the existing building and adding two new buildings. The phased project will bring modern amenities to support residents and staff and will include a new dining room, spa, multi-purpose room, an adult day program suite and upgraded outdoor areas. The redeveloped, 160-bed home is expected

to welcome its first residents in 2027. Through innovative programs like the CFP, the Ontario government is making continued progress toward its commitment to build 58,000 new and upgraded long-term care beds across the province, as outlined in the 2025 Ontario Budget: A Plan to Protect Ontario. Ministry funding distribution will be determined by the operator type to address diverse needs within the long-term care sector. Not-for-profit operators will receive more ministry funding earlier so that projects can advance to construction. Eligible hospital and Indigenous operators may be able to receive the entire amount of ministry funding during their project’s construction period.

The innovative new funding model is part of the government’s plan to protect Ontario by creating good jobs and building for the future. DENNIS ZHANG ON UNSPLASH

Blue-green algae and GRCA reservoirs

STAFF REPORT editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Beach at Conestogo Lake Conservation Area closed for the remainder of the

The presence of a suspected blue-green algae bloom has been observed at the beach at Conestogo Lake Conservation Area.

The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) and the Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph (WDG) Public Health Unit have been notified.

The GRCA consulted with WDG Public Health who has recommended a beach closure due to the observation of blue-green algae. The GRCA has made the decision to close the beach at Conestogo Lake Conservation Area for the remainder of the season due to a combination of factors.

The water levels in the Conestogo Lake reservoir are already lower than normal for this time of year as a result of theConestogo Dam rehabilitation project. The construction project has required the water in the reservoir to be drawn down gradually to allow the contractor access and time to complete repairs of the dam. As a result, the West (shorter) boat launch at Conestogo Lake Conservation Area will be out of service for the remainder of the season beginning Saturday, August 23, 2025, as communicated in a news release earlier today. The rate of draw down will increase following Labour Day, September 1, 2025, re-

sulting in the closure of the second boat launch shortly afterwards.

“We know that bluegreen algae conditions can change very quickly due to prolonged hot temperatures, wind direction, water flow and levels,” says Cameron Irvine, GRCA Supervisor of Water Quality.

“The low water levels in the reservoir in combination with warm air temperatures create the perfect conditions for algae to grow and bloom in large bodies of water.”

Beach closures are rare at Grand River Conservation Areas. However, with the end of summer just weeks away, the decision to close the beach in this case is due to the combination of the suspected blue-green algae bloom impacting the beach and swimming area, as well as the anticipated further reduction in water levels, which will result in the closure of both boat launches.

The Conestogo Lake Conservation Area beach is now closed, and swimming is not recommended. Conestogo Lake Conservation Area visitors, recreational users and cottagers should implement the following additional safety measures:

• Keep children and pets away from the algae.

• Avoid contact with the algae.

• Don’t eat fish from the lake.

• Don’t use the water for drinking or any other purpose.

• Boating is currently allowed, but boaters and recreational users should avoid touching the algae.

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — The hard thing about playing the Six Nations Chiefs is that, with the near all-star lineup, they can explode at any time with a cluster of goals, seemingly, at will. That is what the Peterborough Lakers and the entire league has been dealing with all this season and now, even more dangerous in the Major Series Lacrosse playoffs.

It is said that things come in threes. The Six Nations Chiefs know that to be true after the threepeat Mann Cup dynasty of the early 1990’s. They will get their chance to repeat as three-peaters next week in New Westminster, BC.

GAME #5 Chiefs 12

know the score.

Chiefs sink Lakers in five for Mann Cup berth

Lakers 7 Monday night at the ILA, the Six Nations Chiefs punched their ticket to a third Mann Cup series with a 12-7 win over the Peterborough Lakers to take the series 4-1.

The hungry Chiefs served up a 4-1 first period score with goals by Ryan Smith, his 14th of the playoffs, Josh Byrne (9th), Shane Jackson (14th), and Lyle Thompson’s eighth of the playoffs.

The second period was much like the first as the Chiefs continues to put the pressure on the Lakers. Once again it was Ryan Smith (15) opening the second period as the Chiefs went on to outscore the Lakers 4-2 in the middle frame for an 8-3 two period total.

Dhane Smith netted the next two Chiefs goal (25th and 26th) and Kason Tarbell registered what would be the game winner.

The third period saw the proud and strong Lakers pull together all their energy to hopefully come back and stay alive for another day.

Meanwhile the Chiefs were ready for whatever the Lakers had left to offer and held them off with a 4-4 final period surge. It was a wild final 20 minutes which began with a bench clearing brawl.

After Ian Mackay

opened the third from Ryan Smith and Matt Mariner, special teams took over in the third with Peterborough scoring on a powerplay goal and three short handers. The Chiefs made good on three powerplay goals in the final frame.

Putting up numbers for the Chiefs in the third period were Ian MacKay (5), Matt Mariner (3), Josh Byrne (10) and Tyson Bell (3). Peterborough fought hard with third period markers by Taite Cattoni, Mike Robinson,and two by Justin Sykes, but it was not enough to overcome the Chiefs huge first period.

Maybe in Game #4 the Chiefs just wanted to treat their hometown fans with the MSL Championship win, or not, but the Chiefs returned to their championship form for Game #5.

GM #4 Lakers 9

Chiefs 8 Ahead three games to none, the Chiefs where hoping for a four-game sweep in Peterborough, Saturday night. The Lakers were facing elimination and put out its best effort yet in the playoffs.

The first period was end to end action beginning with Chiefs’ Josh Byrne scoring first within the first minute of play. The Lakers came back with two before Shayne Jackson scored his 12th of the playoffs.

Once again the Lakers responded but Dawson Tweede evened the score at 3-3. Late in the period emotions got a bit out of control behind the bench and the Chiefs took back to back unsportsmanlike conduct penalties which the Lakers capitalized in to end the frame, 5-3, Lakers.

The Six Nations Chiefs await the beginning of the showdown between the West and the East for the coveted Mann Cup. LAFORCE

Each team traded four, second period goals with Ryan Smith scoring two, Theede with his second of the game, Shane Jackson’s 13th of the playoffs. Thomas Hoggarth, Brendon Saris with two, and Mitch Ogilvie scored for Peterborough.

Behind 9-7, the Chiefs would have to turn it on in the third, but ran into a brick wall from Lakers goalie, Drew Hutchinson who had himself a great showing to hold the surging Chiefs to only one goal, to hold onto the 9-8 Peterborough win to stay alive, at least for another day.

Game #1 saw Dhane Smith put on a show with six goals and three assists for a 9-pointer. At one point, the Chiefs scored seven unanswered goals between the second and third periods in the 11-6, Six Nations win.

CHIEFS 11 LAKERS 7

In the second game, it was a six goal second period that left the Lakers slack-jawed in the 11-7 win. Then, in last Sunday’s 9-4 win, in Game #3 it was the Six Nations defense putting on a great display, holding the Lakers to no goals in the second period while adding three of their own. Warren Hill was outstanding in the Chiefs’ net, turning aside 51 Peterborough shots.

It seems all the parts are in good working order as the Six Nations Chiefs await the beginning of the showdown between the West and the East for the coveted Mann Cup. Should the Chiefs win, they will be retaining the chalice for a third year running, something they last did in the 1990’s, between 19901993.

Rivermen in the thick of it at Presidents Cup

By Jim Windle

WHITBY — The Six Nations Rivermen are in Whitby for the Presidents Cup as the Brooklin Merchants host this years’ event.

Tuesday, the Saskatchewan Roadrunners were on the menu for the Rivermen. The Roadrunners are having a terrible showing so far this year after losing their first two games big, 33-4 to the Edmonton Miners and 21-5 to Snake Island.

The Rivermen easily won it, 20-8. They took an 8-1 first period lead, spreading the glory between Thunder Hill, with two, Ross Hill, Mason Hill, David Anderson, Zach Herreweyers ,Tyler Brown

and Brooker Muir.

It was much closer in the second period with Saskatchewan scoring three, but the Rivermen scored five for a two period score of 13-4. Adding to their stats were Thunder Hill, with two, Herreweyers, Austin Blumbergs, and Kessler Doolittle.

The third period was academic for the Rivermen as they out performed the Roadrunners, 7-4 for the 20-8 final. Third period goals came from Gregory Elijah-Brown, Ross Hill, Thunder Hill with two, Tyler Brown, Davin Bomberry, and Jacob Crans.

It’s hard to take much away from a game like this where one team dominates, but the Rivermen exposed a weakness. The

Roadrunners found the Rivermen penalty killing to be porous. Seven of the Roadrunners goals were scored on the powerplay. Against better teams, they may have a much bigger problem, moving forward.

The Rivermen were snake bit in Game #1, as the Snake River Muskies put up a 12-9 win Sunday, Aug. 24.

The Muskies jumped the Rivermen early with seven, first period goals to work up a 7-3 first period lead.

David Anderson scored two and Thunder Hill added another but the Muskies netted seven in the first 20 minutes.

The Muskies would need those goals later in the game as the Rivermen

got their legs under them.

Anderson scored his third of the night and Davin Bomberry also scored to end the second period with the Muskies still leading, 10-6.

Six Nations made up some ground in the third but it would not be enough. Greg Elijah Brown , and two more for Anderson brought the final score to 12-9 for Snake River.

The Rivermen outshot the Muskies 40-36. Anderson had quite a night scoring six goals. Elan Henhawk was in the Rivermen cage.

Next up for the Rivermen was the Edmonton Miners. The Edmonton Miners kicked the door down in Game #1 of this year’s Presidents Cup with a 33-4 embarrass-

ment of the Saskatchewan Roadrunners, Sunday, at the Iroquois Park Sports Centre.

It was 2-2 after the first 20 minutes with Anderson and Danton Miller scoring for Six Nation. Cam Milligan scored both Miners goals.

The Rivermen started to turn up the steam in the second with Miller, Elijah-Brown and Anderson giving the Rivermen a 5-4, two period lead.

Jordan Goddard, Tyler Brown, Elijah-Brown and Anderson rounded out the Rivermen scoring in the third period for the 9-6 win. Anderson clocked in with three goals and four assists with Tye Belanger recording the win in the Six Nations net.

Jacobs: Johnathan Ryan “John”

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Johnathan Ryan Jacobs on August 23rd, in his 48th year, after a battle with cancer.

John was a proud father to his cherished daughter, Caitlin Laura Winnifred Jacobs. He will be deeply missed by his father, Gary; his sister, Amanda (Adam); and his beloved nieces and nephews: Josh, Mercy, Kai, and Greyson. He is lovingly remembered and now rests back in the arms of his mother, Winnifred Jacobs.

Predeceased by his grandparents—Norman and Gladys Jacobs, and Leander and Ethelwyn Wrightman—John also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and especially his best friend who will hold his memory close.

Known for his sharp wit and infectious laugh, John was a passionate gamer, movie enthusiast, and collector. He found great joy in spending time with family, especially sharing his love of games and films with Caitlin and his nieces and nephews. In his younger years, he enjoyed playing soccer and baseball, the latter of which he proudly played under the guidance of his father as coach.

A former student of the University of Windsor, John encouraged Caitlin’s love of animals, even gifting her first pets—including a beloved guinea pig named Pirate.

Resting at Styres Funeral Home, 1798 4th Line, Ohsweken after 2 p.m. Thursday. Evening Service 7 p.m. Thursday. Funeral Service and burial will be held at Faith Victory Church, 2147 Chiefswood Road, Ohsweken on Friday August 29, 2025 at 11 a.m. Reception will follow at Amanda’s house at 1:30 pm.

Leo, there’s more than one way to approach a project. Remain receptive to new ideas and take time to think things through before choosing a path forward.
