Paul Benoit, Algonquin Chief, Dies in Pembroke Hospital
A sufferer from cancer, Paul Benoit, once Chief of the Algonquin
tribe of Indian at Golden Lake, died at Pembroke General Hospital
on Friday last. He was in his 61st year. Paul Benoit played an
important part for years in affairs pertaining to the Indians of Golden Lake and in other parts of Ontario. He had a good
command of English and a native ability that served him well in
his dealings with his white brothers. He had a leading role some
years ago in a movie production, “The Silent Enemy.” The films
were taken in the forest at Timagami, Ontario. -Ad taken from
The Eganville Leader, Ontario – October 19, 2011 in honour and

_________________________________________________
Information from Indian and Northern Affairs Canada website
http://www.ainc-gc.ca/br/is/index-eng.asp
________________________________________________
To date, only a select few INAC regional offices in Canada are
issuing the new
Secure Certificates of Indian Status (status cards). Ontario is

get their new cards at INAC Headquarters,
Gatineau, QC.
NOTE: Appointments are recommended and can be made

All First Nations will continue to issue the current version of
the status card (Certificate of Indian Status (CIS) ).
BORDER CROSSING:
INAC has been advised that for a reasonable transition period
the United States
Department of Homeland Security will continue to accept the
current Indian Status Card as a valid document when visiting
the US via land and water ports of entry.
The Government of Canada cautions individuals that
the period and extent of this flexibility is entirely at the
discretion of U.S. officials, and reminds travelers that when
entering the U.S. via air, a valid passport or NEXUS card is
required.

Footsteps In Time Leaders Training
Date:Tues October 25
Where: Bonnechere Provincial Park
Time: 8:30-3:30pm
Over the past year the Friends of Bonnechere Parks, KidActive, the Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn, and several other cross-sectoral community partners have been working on
a trail enhancement project called Footprints in Time (FIT).
By design, FIT brings together non-traditional
partners to collaborate and build on local strengths,
accessible spaces, existing initiatives and combined
expertise. Funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health
Promotion and Sport, this pilot project is designed to get
families and children physically active in the outdoors more
often. FIT trails will provide enriched outdoor experiences,
encouraging guided and self-guided users to embrace
physical activity while exploring one’s natural and cultural
heritage.
The FIT project includes:





A step-by-step how-to manual defining trial design,
and the collaborative process,• Templates for choosing
natural and cultural heritage trail themes and topics
Experiential activities for children and families.
Customized interpretive tools including a traditional
First Nation Teaching, action song, and museum-on-astick trail markers, and
Bonnechere Provincial Park’s Footprint in Time trail as
a case study.
On Tuesday October 25 we will host an all-day workshop
at Bonnechere Provincial Park designed to share these
tools with community leaders, municipal staff and
recreational planners. The day will include facilitated
sessions and on-trail demonstrations. The workshop will
run from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm; lunch will be provided.
If you plan to attend, please RSVP to
[email protected]
by October 20.
Look to October 28 for
Pikwàkanagàn visioning meeting.
Our ultimate goal is to reinforce the importance of treating
oneself and the environment with respect: to embrace a
culture of health and well-being that comes from time spent
in the outdoors. Plan to Attend both days!
Pikwàkanagàn Discussion on Developing
Footsteps In Time Walking Trail
Date:Friday October 28

choose a theme and topics for a proposed
FIT trail at Pikwàkanagàn. Lunch will be provided. The gem of the project is to

of an enhanced interpretive trail
at Pikwàkanagàn, as well as across
Renfrew County and beyond. Please RSVP

Dear Parents of Opeongo Students:
The school year is off to a good start especially with our new start times, and hunting season is fast approaching.
Here is some information that I hope is beneficial to parents and students.
Cafeteria:
We currently do not have a service provider at Opeongo, therefore we have no cafeteria. It is very important that
students are packing a lunch, as our brains do not function well without nourishment. I have a microwave at student’s
disposal to heat food, and emergency supplies available in my office. But I cannot stress enough that students must
have some nourishment in order to support their learning.
Attendance:
A reminder that attendance is very important. Students should have a Dr.s note, dentist or legal documentation if they
are away for an appointment and present it upon arrival back to school. If you know that your child will be away please
contact the school at 613-735-7587 extension 200 to notify us. This helps our secretarial staff keep up to date records.
Hunting:
If a student is to be away, please send a note with dates and or call me at extension 209 and let me know. Students
are aware of the attendance policy. Students should be advising their teachers and collecting the work they will
be missing as it is their responsibility as young adults to keep up with their studies.
Future Events:
Parent Symposium- On October 22, the Parent Involvement Committee of the Renfrew County District School Board
is hosting a one day symposium at Fellowes High School at 9 a.m. The Keynote speaker will be Dyan Eybergen.
She is a renowned clinical psychologist and motivational speaker. Her address will be on the adolescent journey in
today’s fast paced world. There will also be a variety of workshops on restorative justice practices, homework help,
and healthy eating.
Parent Interviews will be held on Thursday October 20th. Our first end of term marks will be on November 9th,
which is during the deer hunting season, so students need to have all assignments completed to have a
positive mark at mid term.
Community Service Hours:
Students must have 40 hours of volunteer hours in order to get their high school diploma. I encourage parents to
encourage your child to get these hours done before they get to their graduating year. Students will not be able to
graduate with out these hours. It could affect their application to college or university when it comes to their future
plans. Forms are available in the school office.
Graduates:
Students applying to College or University will be starting to apply at the end of November. Please sit down and
discuss your child’s future. Any questions please do not hesitate to call me. The annual Aboriginal Career Fair will be
held at Opeongo on October 20th at 9:45 in the school cafeteria.
I will be posting information hopefully each month in our newsletter about upcoming and important events.

Pikwàkanagàn in Search of Foster Parents
We are in search for Aboriginal foster parents who are licensed,
or individuals who are willing to take the training to become a
foster parent.
Foster parents work together with Pikwàkanagàn Child & Family
Services/ Family & Children’s Services of Renfrew County staff to
develop a plan for each child in care. The ideal plan is usually to reunite a young person with his
or her family. When a reunion is not possible, the plan may require long-term foster care.
Foster families play an essential role in the child's daily life.
The stable and caring home environment that foster families provide helps encourage healthy
growth and development.
If you are interested in this ever rewarding opportunity and would like more information please
contact :
