Communication

 When you are elected to be A chief or a councilor its your job to talk to the people even tho  you may not want to or like them or don,t agree with opinion . It has gotten so in Rama  that i guess they feel this is,nt part of the high paying jobs. When you  email a question to C$C you receive a email back from the Band Manger. There is no more community meetings, And if they don,t want to see you in council they don,t. Communication with the members well there is none.They should be punching a time clock, in the real world you dont, get paid unless you are there.But they have created there own world as to what they think it is to be a Chief or Councilor.Just saying ....

To days WTF is Council just dont want to here you.

Iam very much into the environmental issues here and around the world. I join groups i write letters, sign pet ions lobby the different governments on the issues and its some thing i have done for years and will all ways do. To protect Mother Earth.Here i see no interest by Chief and Council when it comes to the  Our environment.  In   Feb. i asked to be seen in  in council for an idea i had to save money . Rather then pay Orillia to take are compost i wanted to Put composter   at the school and get the kids to compost make raised gardens and to plant organic vegetables . And to make and design there own peace  garden a place where they could call there own and to sit and to be proud of a   place to learn. The Principal was all for it. I was,nt asking for a job Just wanted to teach  the  children some thing they could use later on in life. Chief and Council would,nt even see me.I got a letter saying thanks but we dont need your help and the have a Green Team. What got me was they would even take the time to listen.

Parking Lot

I will say it loud and clear most people do not want a Parking lot in the center of our community the 4 corners . Most likely Toronto or that area is getting a Casino so that means a lot  less people here. And most likely workers as business does down so i feel another parking lot is unnecessary . If they are going to lease more of our territory we should have had a vote .

Pow Wow

What needs to happen is the members have some in put on the pow wow period , I thought every one like black river and were glad it was out side again , Having it at the seniors is not where it should be, Why cant it be at the ball park or the waterfront Rama Park . What we need to do is go back to having a traditional pow wow and i think  alot of people feel the same.It is costing way to much and i would like more of the Chippewas of Rama traditions  formerly the Chippewas of Lake Huron in simoce taught to our children. . I feel it should,nt all be about money. That's me Cheryle Snache

Eliminated

 It feels bad out there right now, with the jobs that have been eliminated  based on the needs of our First Nation at least that is according to the Chief on how the people were picked. I think that if job shadowing had started years ago this would not have had to happen and I feel for the members, but I new it would happen and have been saying it for years. Even called a racist  for wanting are people to be trained to take over the jobs the non- natives hold.  Plain and simply the money has run out. Our needs well they haven't listen to our needs for years.
