October 27, 2022
SERPENT RIVER FIRST NATION – The new Service Ontario location had its grand opening at the Trading Post in Serpent River First Nation on Oct.18, making it the first Service Ontario to be located on-reserve of a First Nation.
It officially opened in August of this year and is staffed by all Indigenous personnel who speak both Ojibway and English to service the Indigenous community within the Robinson Huron area.
The new location came as a result of consultations between Niigaaniin Services (mandated by the North Shore Tribal Council) under the direction of Elizabeth Richer, executive director, and Service Ontario.
