Kwey Anii!    Members of Greater Golden Lake

I would like to take this time to sincerely thank all members who voted for me in this 2021 election. In doing so you have helped me to continue my work at the ANR table to promote and guide the ongoing treaty negotiations in a positive way.

And to those who did not vote for me, I hope that you will take the time to send me an email or give me a call and let me know what your concerns are so we can have a collaborative relationship in the future.

My contact information is at the top of the page, I hope to hear from you.

Eligible Electors from those Communities requiring elections may vote in one of three ways: (i) in-person at the Polling Station for their respective Communities, (ii) by mail, or (iii) via OneFeather, a secure online platform. Their AOO Access ID Number will be required to vote electronically. The AOO Access ID Number for Electors will be found on the letter from the Electoral Officer regarding the Final Results of the Nomination Process for the 2021 Election for the Position of Algonquin Negotiation Representative.

HOW TO VOTE ELECTRONICALLY

Electors can vote electronically by visiting the link provided below and clicking on the RED button to get started – they will then be guided through the voting process. Eligible electors will require their AOO Access ID Number along with a valid personal email in order to vote electronically. If Electors have misplaced or did not receive their AOO Access ID Number these individuals are encouraged to visit the link below and click the HELP button (bottom right) for assistance or contact 1-855-923-3006 directly.

https://www.onefeather.ca/nations/algonquins

HOW TO VOTE BY MAIL-IN BALLOT

All Electors will also be given the option of voting by Mail-In Ballot, regardless of their place of residence. Each Mail-In Ballot is colour-coded to identify the Community with whom the Elector is affiliated but will not contain any information that would reveal the identity of the Elector. Electors who plan to vote using the Mail-In Ballot are encouraged to read the instructions contained within the Election Package carefully and then complete the steps in the check list. If Electors did not receive a Mail-In Ballot, they are also encouraged to contact the Electoral Officer.

Mail-In Ballots must be received by the Electoral Officer on or before Wednesday, September 1, 2021, or these votes will not be counted.

It is recommended that Electors mail their Ballot and Declaration of Elector as soon as possible following receipt to allow for possible delays in the mail.

If Electors do not vote by way of Mail-In Ballot, they may still vote in person at the Polling Station for their respective Community OR via OneFeather, a secure online platform. Again, their AOO Access ID Number will be required to vote electronically. Electors may only vote once.

For more information, on the electoral processes and guiding regulations can be found in the 2021 ANR Elections Process document. You may access this document online at www.tanakiwin.com/2021anrelections.

A Message from your chief.

It has been brought to my attention that some of our hunters were not happy with the conservation letter that was part of the Moose draw mail out.  In it we asked that only one deer per family be taken so that the herd is not decimated.

 

If you have a large family I can understand why you may have to take two deer to sustain your family.  What I don’t abide by is hunters who go to a deer yard and shot every deer that they lay their eyes on.  Any hunter who does this is not only a poor excuse for a hunter, he is also a poor excuse for a man. The Algonquins in the past were honorable hunters who only took what they needed to sustain their families, and I would like to think that we can continue to follow in their path.

 

If hunting in deeryards continue to happen there will be no deer left for our children and grandchildren and the next seven generations. I would like the names of the people who do this brought forth to me and they will be brought before “Chief and Council” to explain their actions.  You are all protectors of the Deer, Moose and Elk herds, it is up to you to help me stop this practice from continuing.  The moose herds are also dropping in numbers, and if we do not help sustain them by not over harvesting their numbers will also dwindle.
