In their own words

  • "Meetings with Public Office Holders and elected officials for funding and policy changes that work to advance economic development opportunities for Ontario First Nations; support educational and language revitalization initiatives; address infrastructure and housing gaps; support Ontario First Nations’ social services; support environmental initiatives; enable Ontario First Nations engagement in the mining sector; promote clean drinking water and water protection; support income assistance and disability support programming; support First Nations police services; address violence against Indigenous women and girls; and support childcare and early learning initiatives. These priorities represent policies that Chiefs of Ontario is advocating for to be included in Budget 2025.”
  • Meetings with Public Office Holders and elected officials to support residential school commemoration, combat denialism and implement the Murray report obligations. This work includes proposing amendments to Bill C-9 An Act to amend the Criminal Code (hate propaganda, hate crime and access to religious or cultural places).
  • Meetings with public office holders about environmental protection, specifically relating to re-introducing Bill C-61: An Act respecting water, source water, drinking water, wastewater, and related infrastructure on First Nation lands; and slowing down implementation of Bill C-5: One Canadian Economy Act.
