Algonquin Land Claim Draft Environmental Evaluation Report

The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, on behalf of the Government of Ontario, and hosted by the AOO communities, invites AOO community members to attend information sessions on the draft environmental evaluation report it will be sharing for public review in September and October. These meetings will provide Algonquin community members with an opportunity to share perspectives and ask questions about the draft report at their own community meetings.

What is it about? This is part of the work that Ontario needs to do to satisfy Environmental Assessment Act requirements as described in the Algonquin Land Claim Declaration Order and to establish proposed municipal official plan designations and zoning which will apply once the lands are transferred into Algonquin ownership.

Ontario’s Draft Environmental Evaluation Report assesses the potential environmental effects and any potential necessary mitigation measures on the following items that form part of the proposed settlement lands package:

•Transfer of provincial lands •Transfer of assets on proposed settlement lands (e.g., Ontario ranger camps)

At this meeting, Ontario will be sharing information about the purpose of the Draft Environmental Evaluation Report and the upcoming public consultation process.

The evaluation: •Focuses on the proposed Settlement Lands identified in the Agreement-in-Principle •Explains the social, economic, cultural and natural environment •Helps to identify matters where we need to focus on finding solutions

This is a Draft EER. A future Final Environmental Evaluation Report will be made available following public open houses and further discussions with the Algonquins of Ontario over the next year.

For further information regarding the community meetings, please contact your respective ANR.

CARDIAC PREVENTION PROGRAM

As your fitness provider for over the past decade I want to offer you another opportunity to help you stay healthy, or get healthy and prevent cardiovascular disease. In a recent study by the Cardiac Care Network they found that in First Nations Communities across Ontario the leading cause of death is circulatory disease. The stats showed that of the First Nations studied 46 smoked, 79 percent are physically inactive, 35 percent are obese, and 20percent have high blood pressure. These stats are scary.

However on the flip side of things another study conducted by The Canadian Medical Association, found that those who live in areas with better access to preventative health care had much lower rates of cardiac events. I feel that our community has great access to a dedicated team of health care providers which makes us much healthier individuals.

What I would like to offer is a Cardiac Prevention Program. This program is different than the heart wise program that is already established and well used. This program will be for individuals who have not had any type of cardiac event but have one or more risk factors that would increase the chances of having one. I will be starting the program in September before hunting season approaches. I will keep you posted on dates to watch for.

For now keep healthy, keep active, eat well and have a wonderful rest of your summer!

Your Fitness Specialist, TerryAnn
