Protecting Treaty 2 Territory
Treaty 2 Territory – April 24, 2020, Boozhoo Aaniin, I would first like to encourage all of you to remain safe and vigilant as we navigate our way through COVID 19. Steps are in place to keep our communities and our families safe.

I would like to remind our citizens there are still some restrictions in place and to be cognizant of them to ensure we are compliant with the conservation measures that are in place.
