It’s incredibly heartbreaking that we lost a community member to this deadly virus. Our thoughts & prayers remain with her children and family. Let’s all do our part to ensure we get this number down. Be safe. Please follow protocols.

Please note the discrepancy from the last dashboard. Total cases reflect actual numbers. Previously noted as 47.

Thank you Ethan Bear. You are an inspiration to our Anishinaabe people and our allies. Thank you for your bravery and courage in standing up against this unacceptable behaviour as it only obstructs reconciliation. You deserve better. We all do. Miigwech. Ekosi. Be well.

Month’ We encourage you to take this time to learn our history, to help educate our Children and Youth on what it means to be Anishinaabe and to take the time to reflect on what it means to take responsibility for our future, to come together with a sense of common vision and destiny for a healthier, equitable, and sustainable future.
