Attention Aamjiwnaang Members

A shelter-in-place advisory has been issued for Zone 6, which includes all residents by Praxair on South Vidal Street, due to elevated readings detected at the Sun Avenue Air Monitor.

Please, join us in congratulating Sara Plain and Pauline Williams!

Sara has played a key role in advancing initiatives that strengthen culturally grounded care, promote community wellness, and building meaningful partnerships both within and beyond Aamjiwnaang First Nation.

Pauline is a deeply respected knowledge keeper and community leader whose contributions have had a lasting impact on Aamjiwnaang First Nation.
