Tim BrodyASSOCIATE EDITOR

SIOUX Mountain Public School and Queen Elizabeth District High

School were paid visits on September 15 by Keewatin-Patricia District School Board Director of Education Sean Monteith and his guest, Ontario Deputy Minister of Education George Zegarac.

Monteith shared, “The deputy minister of education and I have been speaking back and forth for well over a year. It initially started with conversation around the unique needs of children in the communities of Northern Ontario. Certainly that conversation always

includes you need to come and see it for yourself, so to speak.

“With Sioux Lookout, particularly, it had a lot to do with most of last year being spent working as diligently as I could to try and lobby for funding for a new high school in Sioux Lookout. He and I developed a fairly personable relationship, as well as professional, and midway through the summer we were able to work out arrangements for him to actually come up here and spend the weekend with me at my camp. I took him out on some of the Northern Ontario waters.”

Monteith continued, “On

Sunday night we went to Sioux Lookout together and he met with school administrators in the Keewatin-Patricia District School Board as well as he met with Chief Clifford Bull from Lac Seul who is a partner and a friend of the KPDSB.

“Monday he and I had a very busy day visiting Sioux Mountain Public School, the staff, and particularly the students. He met families and Elders as well.

“In the afternoon he visited Queen Elizabeth District High School where the deputy minister met with students and toured the high

ran from September16-18 and is the result of a partnership between the Municipality of Sioux Lookout and Lac Seul First Nation.

This is the third conference to be held. Kenora had hosted the preceding two. Jennifer Findlay, Economics Developer for the City of Kenora, explained, “We did the previous one and also the

Monteith concluded, “Deputy Minister Zegarac was able to see firsthand the incredible work the staff of

Sioux Mountain Public School and Queen Elizabeth District High School do with kids. We have long felt that the Keewatin-Patricia District School Board is leading in so many areas, particularly in those areas that include specialized student supports,

early intervention, speech language investments, and teacher leadership.

“Having the Deputy Minister come to Northwestern Ontario to see our work is incredibly validating. As Director, I continue to be very proud of our staff.”

A hunger strike by Lac Seul

Keshen, commented, “I have always respected Garnet, and I continue to be concerned about his health. To the best of my recollection, I have never represented

represented him in any matter relating to Indian Residential Schools. I hope everyone will deal with this matter with humanity and general respect.”

I m m e d i a t e l y following the agreement with Angeconeb, a press release was issued by

Clifford Bull is pleased that Garnet Angeconeb has agreed to end his hunger strike, and now looks forward to working with the entire community to foster an environment of healing.

“I am relieved that Garnet has agreed to end his hunger strike and work with me to begin

the healing process,” stated Bull. “Garnet and I will now plan a day of healing and fall feast to honor the extraordinary courage it has taken for the survivors to come forward to speak about the abuse they suffered.”

“I am also pleased that Bull listened and sympathized with my concerns,” said Garnet Angeconeb. “It is now time for the healing process to begin and I welcome working with Chief Bull to help repair the damaging impact these schools had on the survivors and our culture.”

Chief Bull also recognized Justice Sinclair for his role in the mediation. “On behalf of myself, I want to sincerely thank Justice Murray Sinclair for his patience, time and passion he gave to the community to

this situation.”

When Angeconeb announced his hunger

strike, Bull called upon Justice Murray Sinclair to provide mediation between the two parties. Justice Sinclair agreed and for four days facilitated meetings between the Chief and Angeconeb that resulted in a “Statement of Principles” and a promise to work together in the future.

Angeconeb initiated

his hunger strike because of concerns he has with the lawyer Douglas Keshen, regarding the handling of residential school claims.

received the concerns of other band members, residential school survivors included, that opposed the ongoing hunger strike and its

potential implications for First Nation governance. While not in full agreement with the results of mediation, the Council has chosen to support the agreement mediated by Justice Sinclair between Angeconeb and Bull. Bull commended the Council for their demonstration of leadership under the

extreme pressure of the hunger strike action.

Bull went on to say, “We all know the suffering, hardship and trauma that was encountered by our people. I want to now work with all members of the Band to move forward together in partnership

the staff and students at KPSDB schools with the release of the Education Quality and Accountability

assessments in reading, writing and mathematics on September 17.

history of the Board, all of the assessments show either an improvement, or in the case of one measurement, results remained status quo. While we know there are many ways of measuring the

achievement of students, we are very proud of our staff and students with the release of our results. The EQAO results are another tool staff can use to identify where students are excelling and what areas students may need additional support in.

Work will continue in our schools with staff looking at individual school and student assessments and planning next steps for the students in our classrooms. This work will look different in every school and every classroom and is not based on the EQAO results alone as there are many factors to consider when looking

at individual student achievement.

The EQAO results aid us in exploring different aspects of our students learning and understanding some of the factors that contribute to their overall success. When comparing

the standardized tests and our own assessments year to year, it is apparent that the longer students are in our schools, the more their overall achievement improves, and we believe this is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our staff. We know that the more time our staff has to work with a student, the more our students

are able to achieve, and that achievement is about more than academics. By consistently putting the

Sean Monteith, Director of Education, stated “We are so very proud of our staff and students and the hard work they put in every day in our classrooms.

Money for Syrian children

Joseph Kyle Hunt, a young man from Sioux Lookout, is fundraising money for children affected by the ongoing civil war in Syria.

After watching a YouTube video posted by Save the Children Canada, Joseph was brought to tears and

immediately felt the urge to reach out a helping hand for the children suffering through this crisis. He sent a message to Save the Children asking how he could help and received a positive response within the hour.

Inspired by the efforts of others, Joseph decided to start taking pledges for a run and believes it has

already been a privilege to volunteer with this organization.

Over the course of several days Joseph ran from the Travel Information Centre in Sioux Lookout to

Dryden. Each day he ran approximately 15km and started his run the next day from where he had

previously stopped.The run started on

Monday, September 15

for Save the Children and is thankful for all the support he has received, especially from his parents Cindy and Keith Hunt.

The reason we chose that city is because it is the easiest trip that we can do that is connected to the curriculum. There is a lot to do in one place and it is fun. The students work hard at it because they know they are going to have a good time. We are

under the Community Adjustment Fund; and further Council voted to support a Municipal

Economic Development Budget.

Economic Development Manager Vicki Blanchard states in her report to council, “The purpose of this recommendation is to obtain the resources required to engage and include representatives from several public sector entities and various sectors including small business, seniors, health services, education and neighbouring First Nations and to form a Community Adjustment Working Group to provide Peer Leadership.” Her report states: The Municipal Economic Development Blueprint that Council has adopted is intended to provide a comprehensive and

integrated package of measures which, if implemented as a whole, would prepare Sioux Lookout for sustainable growth. Included in these measures are an Economic Development Strategy, a Growth Plan and Investment Readiness. The Blueprint then turns to the infrastructure needed to implement and sustain successful growth.

One of the key features of the Blueprint is increased community collaboration and the development of broad-based partnerships to assist in identifying and assessing the needs of our community stakeholders. A community adjustment process is centred on the involvement of local people working together

to a particular set of circumstances that will result in prolonged and profound changes to the community. Typically, various levels and types of government agencies play a role in helping the private sector, industry, workers and communities overcome the situation. Situations leading to community adjustment originate from changes to any number and/or kind of environmental, social,

economic or cultural factors. The extent to which a community adjustment working group can help mitigate the effects of change depends

ability to address various challenges, to develop solutions and translate their ideas into action. This means that community adjustment working groups need to be fully aware of the major challenges that they will face. These challenges include:

• the need to re-tool the labour force;

• the ability to work with workers and employers in the process of adjustment;

• the capacity to manage for changes to infrastructure such as the tax base, effect on schools and health services, real estate values;

• the ability to consider and encompass competing agendas;

• the leadership needed to mobilize community leaders and volunteers;

• the development of alternative employment opportunities (business

• the networking and partnership skills necessary for possible solutions including new public and private sector partnerships; and,

down) community

realities. To achieve sustainable community development requires visionary leadership and the Municipal Economic Development Manager wants to provide this leadership through the means of “community adjustment”. The Community Adjustment

Working Group will develop a multi-functional action plan for the broader community as a whole that includes the following:

• Business - identifying and developing deliverables to lower/eliminate barriers facing businesses attraction and retention efforts

• Education and Training - providing the population with the opportunity to acquire skills to obtain future jobs in the community and cultivate a more robust workforce

• Social/Health Services - promote healthcare as economic driver

• Housing - solutions to affordable and available housing The expectation of this Working Group is to continue a long-term relationship with the Economic Development Manager and the Municipality to provide an annual Peer Review. Building on the skills of local residents, the power of local associations, and the supportive functions of local institutions, asset-based community development draws upon existing community strengths to build stronger, more sustainable communities. The following have agreed to participate: Sam Manitowabi, Lac Seul First Nation, Sean Monteith, Director Keewatin Patricia District School Board, Devon MacKinnon, EDO Eagle Lake First Nation, Gail Winter, IFNA, Christine Heavens, Northern College, Roxanne Hammond, Program Manager Sioux-Hudson Employment Services, Jennifer Thomas, Program Manager/Employment

Counsellor, Anokeewin W i i c h i i w a a w i n Employment Program, Nishnawbe Gamik Friendship Centre, Debbie Korobanik, General Manager, Windigo Ventures General Partner Ltd, Sonja Wainio, Executive Director, Northwest Training & Adjustment Board.

Councillor Joyce Timpson said she did not feel this council should be dealing with an item like this so close to an election.

Councillor Steve Forbes disagreed; stating that until the election, the present council still has a

the matter should be put onto another council to deal with.

Councillor Don Fenelon said the municipality should try to utilize studies it has already conducted and asked if such studies really needed to be redone. Economic Development Manager Vicki Blanchard replied that the items in question were the top items

a focused approach was needed.

Councillor Cal Southall said that studies had already been done on many of these items and also was unsure if similar studies needed to be done again. Blanchard said that in the last two years Sioux Lookout has gone through a transition. She added a Community Adjustment Project feeds back into the community and advises government what the needs of the community are. Councillor John Bath questioned several of the names of people and organizations interested in being part of the project as they are not from town.

Delegates gathered in the Conference Room as traditional drummers welcomed everyone with the Warriors Song after which Elder Tom Chisel said an opening prayer.

Master of Ceremonies Jerry Sawanas gave a speech of welcome followed by welcoming speeches from Lac Seul Chief Clifford Bull and Sioux Lookout Mayor Dennis Leney. Both emphasized in their speeches, “we are all treaty people.”

Chief Bull expressed how he felt about Lac Seul hosting the conference. “We are very privileged and honored to have been selected to host this very, very important conference and I want to thank the organizers of the Ke-ondaatiziying conference for raising awareness of the treaty people that live in our region and the need to work together and share in the richness of our resources. Everybody is treated equally and we want to ensure that we continue to work together for the

he added, “There are things like doing a feasibility study for a food distribution depot here in Sioux Lookout where we send food up north, at a reduced cost, good healthy food like vegetables, for example; forestry initiatives where people work together to

“We looked at the idea of holding the conference last year when we were in Kenora and thought that it would be a very good thing to have in Lac Seul and Sioux Lookout and it was a joint decision that we work together. I am very happy to see that there is such a good attendance from all across the north and as far away as Nova Scotia and Alberta. It is good to see that we are together as treaty people to come up with the means for all that everything will work together for all of us.”

He concluded, “When I think about

We applaud the organizing committee, thank the community of Lac Seul for opening their arms to the region, and are grateful to all the attendees who took time to participate. We look forward to further discussions with the people we met.”

Morgan Bamford, Program Coordinator for the Council for the Advancement of Native Development

and CEDI spoke next about the First Nation-Municipal Community Economic Development Initiative which was an introduction to the highlight of the conference, an introduction to the Regional Distribution Centre Project (RDC).

The project is a collaboration between Lac Seul First Nation, the Municipality of

Sioux Lookout, and Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug (KI, formerly Big Trout Lake) First Nation with the idea of setting up a regional cooperative food and goods distribution centre which would be located at the Sioux Lookout airport and sent to KI to help supply, nutritious, fresh and affordable food and consumer goods to the region, with special emphasis on the needs of people located in remote communities.

presentation, Bruce Sakakeep, Manager at KI Economic Development, Vicki Blanchard, Sioux Lookout Economic Development Manager, and Chris Angeconeb Lac Seul Economic Development Manager, were invited to the podium.

Blanchard delivered a speech that touched on aspects of the project. “CEDI partners are exploring the feasibility of a Regional Distribution Centre (RDC) that would serve as a central distribution point for fresh foods and consumer goods. The objective is to source direct from manufacturers or importers to allow for competitive pricing, better use by dates, shorter delivery times, and reduced stock holding. The RDC will operate as a non-

provide space and equipment for food and consumer goods to be stored, lightly processed, packed and palletized, as well as wholesale and retail vending space,

and offer storage space for communities with limited capacity.

“Sioux Lookout Airport has been chosen as the site for the RDC because it services

remote First Nation communities and is strategically placed close to point of use, taking advantage of local transport hubs to serve several communities from one point.

“The project will take the form of a Co-op. Partners so far include KI, LSFN, MSL, Federation of Canadian Municipalities, CANDO, Lakehead University - Food Security Research Network, Mapping Local Foods Systems in Northwestern Ontario, SLMHC - Greenhouse Project, Thunder Bay Economic Development Commission - Logistics Project, Cloverbelt Local Food Co-op, On Co-op - The Ontario Co-operative Association, and advisors - FedNor and Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation, (NOHFC). Partners are to work collaboratively on the RDC.”

She concluded,

for the far north which will include sustainable employment, training programs for youth at risk, increase warehousing capacity, avoidance of expiration dates, increased security, lower costs, healthy choices, quality assurance, consolidated deliveries, and help in emergencies.”

A signing of the RDC agreement took place as

Bamford, Angeconeb, Blanchard and Sakakeep all signed their names followed by Chief Bull and Mayor Leney who stated,“ I want to express my thanks to you (Chief Bull) and your staff for putting on this event at Lac Seul. I talked to quite a few of you and I understand that many of you have some really good comments about this. I think it was very well done and I would especially like to thank the presenters who came all the way across Canada to be here to do this.

“As you can see with the RDC project, I am so excited that it almost brings tears to my eyes because it is a really, really important project.

partnership with Lac Seul and also KI and I am glad to see Bruce (Sakakeep) here with us today. So, anyway, thank you very much for your attendance. Thank you, Chief Bull, for your cooperation and your staff. Thank you very much.”

Chief Bull concurred. “I share very much the same sentiments. I want to thank Ke-ondaatiziying organizers for making this such a very great success and I want to thank all the presenters. We had some very good interaction and networking and I want to thank all the people who came from all over this great country we call Canada and I want to wish you all a safe travel getting home to your loved ones and I really enjoyed my day and a half here.

“The other thing you have to think of is that we have to take care of ourselves. Think about your health and your well being. I pray to God, that everybody here just goes home safely and has learned something from this meeting that we had. They were very productive and meaningful. Thank you very much.”

Gifts were then distributed to all participants who were then invited to stand in

a circle while a prayer was said, followed by a Travelling Song from the Drum Group after which everyone went their separate ways.

N E W SPilot program funded by Ministry of Education


IN the Spring of

of Education granted funds for the provision of a pilot program operated in partnership with the Keewatin Patricia District School Board (KPDSB), Meno Ya Win Health Centre (SLMHC), and the Sioux Lookout First Nation Health Authority (SLFNHA) to support expectant mothers from northern communities and their children during their prolonged stays at SLMHC and at the hostel located nearby.

The children, who normally attend schools in their home communities, have been unable to do so

while their mothers received care in Sioux Lookout.

The project provides educational support for both expectant mothers and their children. Daily instruction is provided by qualified teachers employed by the KPDSB.

The program is designed to include elementary, secondary and early childhood education provided by qualified teachers employed by the KPDSB in a classroom established on the lower level of the hospital. It includes daily school programming for mothers, families and children staying at the SLMHC or the Jeremiah McKay Hostel.

The initial offering operated for four

at Kindergarten level through to Grade 8 and offered daily elementary high school programs that focused on reading, writing and oral language skills, as well as computer and technology skills.

Under the supervision of Wayne Mercer, Vice Principal of Queen Elizabeth District High School, Angelynn Koss, a Secondary Teacher for the Continuing Education Program, provided instruction for the young mothers on a one to one basis so

requirements and needs of each student. Each one received personalized support,

as they continued to work toward obtaining high school credits with the goal of eventually achieving a high school diploma.

Michael Boos, Principal of Sioux Mountain Public School, was the local administrator who supervised the teacher, Danielle Gibson, and the early childhood education worker, Shannon Dumonski.

In a video created by the KPDSB Gibson explained the process. “We go over to the hostel daily and check who is around and make ourselves known and ask people if they are interested in our program, then leave it up to them if they wish to enroll in classes.”

At board level, Scott Urquhart, student

success leader, and Caryl Hron, Superintendent of Education for the K e e w a t i n - P a t r i c i a District School Board, oversaw the project.

David Murray, Chief

Meno Ya Win Health Centre, and Jim Morris from the Sioux Lookout First Nations Health Authority provided health related programs and the instructional space for the classroom.

Jennifer Maki, Vice President for Quality and Clinical Support Services at SLMHC, commented, “I think it is a wonderful opportunity for both children and adults to further their education while they are here in Sioux Lookout. The Ministry pays their education fees and

it is unique because

funding for First Nation community members and makes it easier for parents. No paperwork and no loss of funding.”

Although only of short duration,

spent explaining the program to families in the north, as well as building trusting relationships with these communities.

The Ministry of Education has provided new funding to renew the program. Meetings are scheduled this week to explore the possibility of expanding the partnership to provide programming for mothers and their children in the Sioux Lookout area.

Join the Workplace Wellness ChallengeOctober is Healthy

Workplace Month and the Northwestern Health Unit is inviting

you to participate in our second annual Workplace Wellness Challenge. The goal of the challenge is to encourage workplaces

in the Kenora and Rainy River Districts to make employee health and well-being a priority. Many of us spend a significant portion of our day at work. Taking positive steps towards increasing our physical activity, eating healthy, getting more rest and spending quality time with family and friends can significantly increase our happiness and productivity at work.

Research has shown that poor health can lead to increased stress, decreased morale and decreased effectiveness in the workplace. Christine McLeod, Health Promoter, says “the challenge is a way to get us all thinking about our physical and mental health at work. A friendly competition between colleagues and workplaces can motivate us to get more active, eat more fruits and vegetables and

pay attention to things like how many hours of sleep we get each night. These healthy lifestyle practices will help to make our time at work more positive.”

Workplaces are encouraged to take part in the challenge by designating a team captain and recruiting employees to participate. Registration is open

local prizes will be given to workplaces that rank the highest based on average

points earned per participant. Workplace wellness resources, such as the Physical Activity Toolkit and Mental Health Toolkit are available for download at www.nwhu.on.ca

Tourism really does matter – and here’s why

Tourism is one of the largest and most important economic sectors in Northwestern Ontario but as an industry, it is largely under appreciated by the general public and even the local business community. In response to this,

Travel Association in partnership with the Kenora District Camp Owners Association (KDCA) has launched a region-wide communications campaign intended to educate and inform local residents and the business community about the important role tourism plays in our regional economy. Another objective is to get more businesses to join each organization as active members. The communication campaign has been supported in part by Tourism Northern Ontario and the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport.

Entitled Tourism Matters!, the campaign launched in mid-August includes print ads in eight regional newspapers and a comprehensive radio campaign that airs on radio stations across Northwestern Ontario.

“Our objective when we launched this campaign was to provide the public and business community with some

factual information about tourism in the region and we wanted it to cover both the economic and socio-cultural impacts the industry has,” noted Gerry Cariou, Executive Director of Sunset Country Travel Association.

“When you examine the facts and the stats, there are the obvious economic impacts in the areas of jobs and expenditures by tourists and tourism businesses across the region but there are also more

wanted to communicate those as well,” stated Cariou.

“In some circles, tourism gets a bad rap as some say it creates seasonal, low paying jobs and, while that may be true in some instances, expenditures by tourists and the tourism business community are critical to the overall economic health of Northwestern Ontario.”

spokesperson for KDCA,

had a testimonial from Blue Wave Energy, a fuel distributor that has

sales to lodge and resort operators and they were happy to help us get the message out how

fuel business – a business

normally associate with tourism.”

“What is the value of the many job opportunities tourism creates for university and college students in the summer months, allowing them to return home during the summer vacation as opposed to having

where they are going to school?”

The campaign covers eight main message themes outlining both economic and social

provides and each theme is covered in a series of ads that appear weekly in newspapers and on local radio stations. The themes include:

• Tourism creates memorable and positive job opportunities for youth in Northwestern Ontario!

• Tourism has a

impact on the economy in Northwestern Ontario!

• Tourism creates entrepreneurial and job opportunities for First Nation residents in Northwestern Ontario!

• Tourism generates

supporting government programs and services at the federal, provincial and municipal levels!

• Many year round local businesses rely on tourists and the tourism industry to operate

• Tourism is a

renewable resource that can be sustained

conservation and resource management!

• Your friends and neighbours work in the tourism industry!

• Events and festivals enrich our quality of life

economic impact at the same time!

Cariou noted, “We wanted to provide some factual data so residents and year round businesses could evaluate the information and, hopefully, change their perception about tourism and its contribution to the economy and life in general in the region. There is a lot of misinformation out there.”

S P O R T SHunting season now open in Sioux Lookout


THE province of Ontario is subdivided into

95 wildlife management units (WMUs), 58 of which are located in Northern Ontario.

The fall hunting

commenced on August 15 with the open season declared on the hunting

of black bears.Some WMUs are split

into sub-units. Each WMU has customized hunting regulations for game, open season dates, and permitted methods of hunting, including a choice of weaponry that

bows and muzzle –loading guns.

Wildlife Management Units are designed

to improve wildlife management while at the same time simplifying hunting and trapping regulations. The units are used to manage all game, with the exception of elk, waterfowl and other migratory game birds, and are based on land use that includes habitat, human density, public, private land ownership, recognizable physical features, such as major roads and rivers, and land use practices, such as agriculture, timber, and development.

The requirements to hunt in Ontario are: you must be at least 16 years old (or 15 with written parental consent), pass the Ontario Hunter Education Course (or have recognized hunter credentials), pass the Canadian Firearms Safety Course to use a gun to hunt.

Make sure to get all required tags and seals for the game being hunted.

It is mandatory for hunters to carry both the hunting version Outdoors

Card and licence tag whenever they hunt and adhere to all hunting rules listed in Ontario Hunting Regulation.

Recently the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry proposed a two-year Bear Pilot Project

Included in this is an early black bear hunting season for residents in Wildlife Management

from May 1 to June 15.The annual resident

bear hunting licence tag is valid in both the early and fall seasons, with a resident hunter allowed to harvest one bear per year during either the early or fall

open seasons, unless a second bear game seal is purchased in a WMU where second game seals are available. The harvest of bear cubs and female bears accompanied by a cub is prohibited during the early season. Hunters are reminded that they must always be sure of the sex and age of an animal before deciding if it is legal to shoot.

Resident bear hunters that purchase a hunting licence tag prior to June 16 are required to report their bear hunting. All other provisions for hunting black bears in the province of Ontario apply to the early open season. You may also

require game seals (different than licence tags) or validation tags (distributed through an annual draw) to hunt certain game.

Recent aerial surveys undertaken by the MNR have indicated a decline in the moose population in certain areas of Northeastern and Northwestern Ontario. Subsequently, this year the number of Northern Ontario moose tags has been reduced. Varying dates and conditions apply depending on which WMU is being

used for hunting purposes.

There are different rules and a variety of starting dates that cover the hunting of deer and small game that covers game birds such as partridges, ducks, and small mammals, furbearing mammals wolves and coyotes, and game amphibians which include frogs and snapping turtles.

Corey Lago, President of the Sioux Lookout Anglers and Hunters Association, offered some advice. “Always

wear hunter orange. Never point a gun at something unless you are going to shoot. Always identify what you are shooting. Keep control of your weapon and observe all safety precautions and be courteous to other hunters. The land belongs to everyone and we all have to share. Finally always be aware of what hunting zone you are in.”

To obtain a resident hunting licence in Ontario, most people need to pass the Ontario

Hunter Education Course which includes hunting and identifying big game, small game, and waterfowl, hunting regulations and laws, hunter responsibilities, wildlife management, using hunting and survival equipment. Applicants are required to sit for a written exam and upon passing it will receive a copy of the Ontario Hunter Education Examination Report. This must be taken to a Service Ontario center that provides hunting licence services to get

Outdoors Card.

In keeping with this, a three day seminar covering gun safety and hunter education was held in Sioux Lookout at the Lamplighter Motel conference room. Attended by six females and nine males, it was conducted by Arnold Beebe, Administrator

of the Ontario Moose-Bear Tourism Industry Program who is also vice president of the Sioux Lookout Hand Gun and

Beebe commented, “The Gun Safety Course is provided by the Federal Government

Course is funded by the Province of Ontario and the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH). It is well organized and there are instructors for both courses all over Ontario.

“The big aim is to instruct people in the

and over are welcome to participate in both courses.

“The Hunter Education Course is not designed to make you a hunter but is designed for all the individual aspects of hunting, and the fact that both these courses

are available can bring peace of mind to a lot of local parents.”

He concluded, “Since the introduction of hunter safety, there has been a reduction in fatalities in the Province of Ontario. Last year

had a fatality in Ontario and none of us like this, so besides education, the big objective is to reduce the possibility of a fatality.

“This seminar has

a full course, as were the last two. They have always been popular and there is always a waiting list.
