RFP – Documentary Film Production of SON Fisheries
The Fisheries Assessment Program has issued a Request for Proposals to produce two short high-quality documentary films about fisheries research projects being conducted by the Saugeen Ojibway Nation (SON) and partner organizations including Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Parks Canada and Trent University.
The short films will be targeted at the SON membership and used to engage members in our fisheries research. The films will also be used to inform and educate non-Indigenous communities as well, and help build bridges between them and the SON.
Interested film makers are invited to carefully read the RFP for additional project details and submission requirements.
Proposals must be received no later than June 28, 2021.

Together with Giigoonyag – Acoustic Telemetry
As part of the Together with Giigoonyag initiative we will be tagging 50 whitefish for the purpose of telemetry at Government Dock and in Nottawasaga Bay beginning this month. Tagged fish will have an easily noticeable external tag and internal transmitter (see image above). If found, a $100 reward will be provided for these fish, their harvest location, and tags. DO NOT sell, trade, or consume the tagged fish. These fish will contain an anesthetic, MS-222, that will remain in their tissue up to a month. It is not safe to consume these fish.
For more information, please contact: Ryan Lauzon at 519-375-1012 or Alexander Duncan at 226-668-5221.

Employment Opportunity – Fisheries Literature Review
The SON Fisheries Assessment Program Together with Giigoonyag initiative is seeking analytical, detailed, self-motivated individuals to conduct a paid review of fisheries-related literature. This project will provide an overview of the existing knowledge about fish stocking in Lake Huron and the SON’s traditional territory by reviewing academic literature from peer-reviewed sources, books, grey literature, and documents produced by the Saugeen Ojibway Nation and Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. The review will identify key gaps and uncertainties in the literature that have yet to be addressed by the scientific or research community and help to inform the creation of the SON’s Goals and Objectives for the Fishery.
The literature review has been divided into four chapters: Ecosystem (APPENDIX I); Food Security and Health (APPENDIX II); Culture, Spirituality, and Social (APPENDIX III); and Economics (APPENDIX IV). We anticipate a different reviewer for each chapter, although an applicant may submit a proposal for multiple chapters. These contract opportunities will be compensated according to the chapter being reviewed.
Please read the project Call for Applications for much more information and application instructions.
