MAGNETAWAN FIRST NATION — Magnetawan First Nation is looking forward to hosting the 10th Annual Indigenous Lands and Resource Management (ILREM) Conference on March 4-6 at the Magnetawan First Nation Community Hall.
“We are bringing back the conference to our community,” says Nadine Perron, environmental management biologist at Magnetawan. “It’s been hosted outside of the community for the past couple of years and this is the first time we’re bringing it back and we’re really excited about that component and some heavy community member involvement, which one of the big focus pieces is to keep engaging the community, showcasing all this work we do 365 days a year and condensing it into kind of three days of activities, workshops, togetherness, community feasts.”
Perron says they will be having a Water Ceremony on Day 1 to bring in more cultural and traditional components at this year’s conference.
