COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA

CURVE LAKE FIRST NATION DAILY SITUATION REPORT – December 27

Public Health Inspectors to Enforce Tighter Public Health Measures

Public Health Inspectors will be ensuring local business owners and operators have developed and made available their COVID-19 Safety Plans following yesterday’s move for the area into the Yellow-Protect zone of the provincial COVID-19 response framework.

Aaniin Curve Lake,

We wanted to thank all of our community members for cooperating with all of the precautionary

measures that have been put in place to protect our community from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our pandemic response relies on the collective spirit and resiliency that you have shown

through this difficult year. Your efforts make us proud to call Curve Lake home.

Although we have been successful so far in our measures, it is more important than ever that

we re-evaluate our response. Alongside our State Of Emergency Declaration from the first

wave, a proactive approach is necessary as we begin to see parts of Ontario enter into

lockdowns during the second wave.

COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA

As of Monday November 23, 2020 at 12:01 a.m. Peterborough Public Health will be strengthening COVID-19 measures and moving into the Yellow – PROTECT level of the provincial COVID-19 Response Framework.

“Moving into the yellow zone is based on a number of indicators that show the rate of community spread is increasing, even if we exclude the cases linked to the Fairhaven outbreak,” said Dr. Rosana Salvaterra, Medical Officer of Health. “The most concerning one for me has been the increased proportion of cases with no link to either travel or contact with a case. I’m hoping the new measures now required for our region will enable us to be more effective in preventing new cases and our staff will be ensuring local business operators have what they need to develop the required Safety Plans.”

Aaniin Curve Lake,

When I ran for Chief I committed to being open and accountable to you – I think this is important for all leaders in our community and I continue to look for creative ways to bring information to you. I’m always happy to hear from you with your concerns. I continue to invite you to reach out to me!

Dear Parents and Guardians,

At a special meeting of Council today and recommended by the staff and Education Committee,

it was decided that the Oshkiigmong Early Learning Centre and the Curve Lake First Nation

School will remain closed to children through December 2020, pending a Risk Assessment.

The Risk Assessment will identify risks associated with having the children in the buildings.

We stand in Unity with those protecting the inherent rights of First Nations

We stand in Unity with those protecting the inherent rights of First Nations – those protecting the lands and the natural resources for future generations. We honour and abide by our seven sacred teachings given to us by Creator. In the spirit of those teachings we declare the following:

The Council of Curve Lake First Nation recognizes that we all benefit from the resources provided by Mother Earth across all of Turtle Island and that all of creation is sacred. We recognize that our ancestors protected mother earth for our use and benefit.  It is our responsibility to protect our environment for our children, who are our sacred gift and their well-being is our primary responsibility.

COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA

Phyllis Williams sharing this message for the season; also appropriate in times of COVID 19, as told by Grandmother Brenda Rivers.

THE SEVEN SACRED TEACHINGS FOR FALL

“Fall sits in the west on the Medicine Wheel. One of the most beautiful gifts Creator gave us is in nature. As Human Beings we find change difficult. Nature teaches us that change is inevitable. With the change of season, the Maple Tree teaches us that change can be beautiful.

Dear Community,

Now that we’ve re-opened our government buildings (excluding the school and OELC),

we would like to stress a few points moving forward. Although additional staff have

safely returned to the workplace, some have continued their work from home.

Although we’ve re-opened our workplaces, the health & safety of our staff remains a

top priority.

Curve Lake First Nation’s Chief & Council honour residential school survivors and the importance of every child matters.
