Provide Your Feedback on Land Use and Infrastructure Plans

Posted on

The Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation is developing a Land Use Plan and Capital Infrastructure Plan for the community. Both plans will establish a vision for the future of our community and a path to get there.

We’ve created a survey with Shared Value Solutions, an Indigenous consulting firm we’ve retained to assist with community engagement. The survey seeks your feedback on a number of infrastructure issues facing the community. We need your feedback to make sure the plan serves the community and addresses the issues that are most important to members. We think you’ll find the survey interesting as well, as it invites you to think about our home community in different ways.

The online-only survey will be open until Wednesday, July 7, 2021. Be sure to add your voice to this important project!

Complete the survey.

Land Use Plan & Capital Infrastructure Plan Community Meeting June 3, 2021

Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation are developing a Land Use Plan and Capital Infrastructure Plan for the community. Both plans will establish a vision for the future of our community and a path to get there. We have hired two consulting firms to support this project: Neegan Burnside Ltd and Shared Value Solutions.

The purpose of this virtual community meeting is to focus on the Land Use Plan and:

  1. Discuss what the consulting team has heard from members so far, as captured in the Community Engagement Narrative, summarized here; and
  2. Present key land use planning issues raised by members and identify some options for feedback and input.

Virtual Community Meeting Details

A virtual Community Meeting will be held on Thursday, June 3rd, 2021 at 7:00 PM to share the project progress and generate input on key issues that will guide the Land Use Plan. Come to share your thoughts or ask questions!

All community members are welcome and encouraged to attend virtually.

Register for the meeting online. If you have questions, contact Larissa Johnston, Lands Manager/Membership Supervisor, by phone 519-534-1689 or e-mail: larissa.johnston@nawash.ca.

The Community Forum will also be streamed live on our YouTube channel.

About the Land Use Plan

The Land Use Plan will guide future planning on the surveyed reserve lands (#27 Neyaashiinigmiing), Cape Croker Hunting Grounds, and the 69-acre vacant parcel undergoing the Additions to Reserve process (Lots 61-63 Con 3E & Lots 61-62 Con 4 East, Neyaashiinigmiing). It will consider the environment, species at risk, areas used for cultural purposes that allow Neyaashiinigmiing to plan for future development while protecting what is important.

The Land Use Plan scheduled to be completed between December 2020 and July 2021.

About the Capital Infrastructure Plan

The Capital Infrastructure Plan will identify ways to address infrastructure challenges, such as housing, water treatment and distribution, wastewater treatment and disposal, solid waste management, roads and drainage, and communications. This Plan will help prioritize Neyaashiinigmiing’s infrastructure needs by identifying key objectives from community input and providing recommendations based on engineering principles.

The Capital Infrastructure Plan is scheduled to be completed between April 2021 and November 2021.

Land Use and Capital Infrastructure Survey

Posted on

Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation are currently in the process of developing a Land Use Plan and Capital Infrastructure Plan for Neyaashiinigmiing reserve lands. These plans will build on the Comprehensive Community Plan completed in 2014 and will guide how we use, service and protect our lands.

This process is community driven. We want to hear your opinions and learn from your intimate knowledge of our community. To gather your important feedback, we’ve created a survey that will inform the Land Use and Capital Infrastructure Plans. We are requesting that all members complete the survey, which will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Every completed survey will be entered into a draw to receive one of 10 gift cards as a token of our appreciation. The survey collection period will close Sunday, June 20, 2021.

Chi-miigwech for participating in the survey and investing in the future of the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation.

Take the survey now.
