Compensation now open to former Six Nations, New Credit students STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

OHSWEKEN — A class action settlement for Canada’s church-and-state run federal Indian Day Schools is open to some former elementary school students at Six Nations and New Credit.

Compensation was announced by Indigenous-Crown Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett in March.

Former students who are part of the class action would receive basic personal compensation of $10,000 each under the terms of the settlement, while those who experienced physical and sex-

ual abuse at the schools would also be eligible for additional compensation of between $50,000 and $200,000, Bennett said.

The settlement is being negotiated by Gowling WLG. Former students can register online to become a member of the class, or opt-out by May 3.

If former students then wish to submit a claim for compensation that will be an additional application that will be made available at a later date.

Bennett says the settlement is part of Canada’s committment to righting historical wrongs in the spirit of reconciliation. ``This agreement will bring us one step closer to a lasting and meaningful resolution for survivors ... of this dark and tragic

chapter in Canada's history,'' she said.

The proposed settlement follows discussions between the government and parties to the suit, which was originally filed in 2009 on behalf of Indigenous people and their families who attended Indian Day Schools, which began operating across Canada in the 1920s.

Nearly 200,000 Indigenous children attended more than 700 federally operated Indian Day Schools, where many endured trauma, including

physical and sexual abuse.

The government estimates that between 120,000 and 140,000 former students may end up taking part in the class action.

The schools operated separately from the more infamous residential school system, and were not included in the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement approved in 2006.

Many Canadians are aware of the tragic legacy of residential schools, but not of the day schools, Bennett said.

``Although children who attended Indian Day Schools did leave school at the end of the day, many students experienced trauma and were subject to physical and sexual abuse at the hands of individuals who had been entrusted with their care,'' Bennett said. ``Due to government policies, children were denied the opportunity to speak their language and were forced to abandon their culture.''

Before approving the settlement, the court will

consider comments made by the members of the class action, submissions made by their legal counsel and the government to determine whether the settlement is fair, reasonable and in the best interest of the class members.

Harms continue to be passed down through generations of Indigenous families and communities, Bennett said. ``It is my sincere hope that this will be the start of a successful healing process for all of those involved.’’

Day School Information

Several local schools which were affiliated with church bodies in Canada are listed under the federal day schools settlement.

Tyendinaga’s numbered elementary schools 1-4 Central, Eastern and Western were affiliated with the Anglican Church and ran from 1882 to 1967. Mission school was a Roman Catholic affiliated school and ran from 1883 to 1956.

Oneida Nation of the Thames four numbered elementary schools are included. Oneida No.1 from 1864 - 1968, Oneida No.2 from 1873 1968, Oneida No.3 from 1882 - 1968 and Oneida No.4 from 1951 - 1968.

The United and Anglican churches shared affiliation with those schools for the duration of their operation. The Standing Stone school is included and operated on Oneida Nation of the Thames from 1968 to 1993. It is not affiliated with a church.

Six Nations numbered elementary schools 1-12 are included in the federal day schools list. All of them were affiliated with the Anglican Church and operated from the late 1800s through to the late 1980s, some as late as 1990. All of the numbered elementary

schools were closed in a community-wide boycott after it was discovered they were contaminated with asbestos.

Jamieson School and J.C. Hill Elementary/ Ohsweken Central are included in the list, affiliated with the Anglican Church which ceased in 1990. The schools are still open today but are no longer church and state run.

Oliver M. Smith, Emily C. General and I.L Thomas Schools are on the list for the year 1990. These schools have no history of church affiliation.

Mississaugas of the Credit has two schools listed; New Credit School from 1957 - 1994 and New Credit Central from 1957 - 1960. Both were affiliated with the Anglican Church.

To register to become part of the class or to opt out former students can apply online until May 3 at https:// ca.gowlingwlg.com/ dayschoolclassaction/ or call 1-844-539-3815.

The website for the class action settlement notes that registering for the class is not the same as making a claim for compensation. When the claims process begins, former students will then need to fill out a claim form to receive compensation

Developer makes accommodation to Six Nations for new housing project NAHNDA GARLOW

nahnda@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — Six Nations of the Grand River says it has accepted an accommodation deal with a developer building two new housing projects in Caledonia.

Ballantry Homes has given 42.85 acres of farm land and $352,000 to the Six Nations Elected Council as part of the accommodation deal to approve two housing projects: Beatties Estates and McKenzie Meadows on the east and west sides of McKenzie

Road in Caledonia.

The first part of the project in McKenzie Meadows is located directly across the street from the former Douglas Creek Estates site where the land reclamation in 2006 took place. Phase 1 of the development will be at the McKenzie Road side of the farm lot. A total of nearly 1400 homes are proposed between the two projects.

Craig Rohe with Upper Canada Consultants was at a community information session at the Six Nations Tourism building on Tuesday, April 23 to explain the project. Rohe said the original draft for

the housing development was brought in 2003 but back burnered until 2016.

It was reevaluated in 2018 and paired with a second development on the east side of McKenzie Drive, Beatties Estates.

Rohe said extensive archaeological studies were done on both properties.

Plans for a possible extension of Sixth Line across Argyle Street across the property though to McKenzie Road are also being proposed for the future.

According to Lonny Bomberry, Lands and Resources Director at Six Nations, the community previously considered

an accommodation deal in 2015 that would have given nearly $1.25 million dollars in funding for the Kaweni:io/Gaweniyo Immersion School to go through. At that time, Bomberry said, the offer was turned down. Six Nations Elected Council approved a Committee of

the Whole project rejection to the offer in December 2013.

“They viewed it as selling our land rights,” said Bomberry. “What they wanted was land back. So that’s the process we’ve been embarking on and working out with developers.”

OHSWEKEN — Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation says it is going to resume work on the Niagara Reinforcement Project hydro line.

Construction was halted in January 2019 after SNGRDC announced they received a cease and desist letter from the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council ordering work on the line to halt.

SNGRDC Director Matt Jamieson said in an emailed statement that there is no new arrangement between Hydro One and the HCCC, but says Hydro One wishes to continue on the original agreement and complete the NRL. In a public notice, SNGRDC announced it was returning to work on the project, saying the decision to return to work was reached by the “SNGRDC Governance Group and it’s Shareholder.”

“The Governance Group is comprised of the SNGRDC Board of Directors, SNGRDC Advisory Committee, and Economic Development Trust- Board of Trustees,” said Jamieson.

SNGRDC’s shareholder is the Six Nations Elected Council.

“We have spoken to our shareholder and Gover-

nance group on numerous occasions and the consensus is that the project gets completed pursuant to the original plan as communicated during the engagement process.”

Initial reports on the shutdown said men from Six Nations attended the work site and insisted construction halt immediately, that an engagement payment of $250,000 be made to the Haudenosaunee Development Institute and demanded a meeting between the HCCC and Hydro One. SNGRDC later confirmed the halt was led

by HDI’s lawyer Aaron Detlor, along with HCCC Chief Allan McNaughton and HCCC’s Ogwawista Dedwahsneys Director Colin Martin along with a collective of supporters who instructed workers to stop.

Officials told TRT workers on site were threatened with “men from all the territories” to shut down the project entirely if workers did not halt construction.

In February, SNRGRC held a community meeting to inform the Six Nations community of the steps they’d taken since the letter was received and to publicly ask the HCCC to lift their cease-and-desist.

According to Bomberry a formula for compensation was made with the McClung Road development seeing Six Nations receive payment in the form of property that is half the value of the developable land in the proposed project. From that arrangement, Bomberry says Six Nations received 200 acres on the outskirts of Hagersville — 75 of which has been transferred to Six Nations and another 100 acres that is in the adding to reserve process.

Lands that are owned

by Six Nations that are outside of the community must go through a bureaucratic process of being added to the reserve to give them tax exemption.

In the interim, the community is responsible for

Construction to resume at Niagara Reinforcement Project TRT sent numerous requests to the HCCC and HDI for an interview on the work stoppage but to date have not received a reply.

paying land tax.

To date, Bomberry says Six Nations has 580 acres that was purchased in the 1990s that is being added to the reserve now, another 380 acres at Burtch that will be added, the 200 acres at Hagersville and now the 42 acre property at Little Buffalo.

Bomberry says the new accommodation package with Ballantry Homes does not affect Six Nations land claims on the Haldimand Tract or Plank Road.

Bomberry explained, “All of these lands under the Haldimand Tract

are under land claim no matter where it is. Douglas Creek is no different than MacKenzie Road. Oneida Township was never surrendered but it went out of our possession in 1845. It’s been in third party hands since then. All these lands were patented in the 1850s and 1860s. It became under provincial jurisdiction. The problem with trying to claim that land back is you’ll never win in court. Because the courts are saying ‘Sorry Charlie it’s been too long, you didn’t act on it sooner.’

So that’s why our lawsuit is against Canada and Ontario saying, look, even though we don’t have the lands no more it was unlawful the way you took it. You breeched your fiduciary duty. And the money that you did get you breeched your duty on managing that because you went and willfully wasted all our money and now the court case is saying, ok - Crown-Canada, Crown-Ontario… account for that and if you can’t account for it make good on it. Make good on the land and if you can’t make good on the land you have to pay us the monetary value of it.”

TWO ROW TIMES

OPINION editor@tworowtimes.com

All of Ontario’s turtles are now at risk Courtesty of GreenUp While spending time by the lake or river this summer, you may see turtles basking in the sun along rocks or logs.

Hopefully, you are fortunate enough to see one; as of this spring, all eight of Ontario’s turtle species are considered at risk due to natural and human-caused factors.

Prior to April of this year, the Midland Painted Turtle was not considered at risk, but recently the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) decided that the painted turtle should also be listed as, at risk, and be protected under the federal Species At Risk Act. The Midland Painted Turtle’s upper shell is olive to black, and usually measures 12-14 centime-

tres long. This turtle can be identified apart from other Ontario species due to its unique red or orange markings around the edges of its shell, and red and yellow stripes on its head and neck.

Although we may not think of turtles every day, they play an important role in the natural environment. According to Anne-Christine Auge, a Trent University PhD student who is studying the Blanding’s Turtle, “[Turtles] are indicator species, which means they can reflect the health of the ecosystems in which they live – if turtles aren’t doing so well, there might be something wrong in that habitat or environment, [such as a high concentration] of fertilizers or other toxins. As part of the food web, turtles feed on fish and small invertebrates

[such as crayfish, leeches, and beetles]. This helps to keep those invertebrate populations in check.”

Turtle eggs and young also provide food for other animals, and some turtle species help spread plant seeds within wetlands. Furthermore, turtles have been around for hundreds of millions of years – since the age of the dinosaurs!

There are a number of factors that are threatening the survival of Ontario turtles, some of which are natural, and some of which are caused by human activities. Raccoons and skunks eat many turtle eggs, so very few young turtles make it to adulthood. Then, it takes 15-20 years before a turtle reaches maturity and is able to produce eggs.

Attendees of the GreenUp Ecology Park BioBlitz

in June watch a large snapping turtle swimming in the water of Meade Creek between Beavermead campground and Ecology Park. Snapping Turtles are the largest species of turtle in Ontario, take nearly 20 years to reach maturity, and can live to be 70+ years old From May to October every year, turtles are on the move to find mates and lay their eggs. Young turtles are also emerging from their nests to find nearby waterways to make their home. Unfortunately, many turtles are killed or injured every year when trying to cross roads. Additionally, the wetlands that make good turtle habitat are often fragmented to make way for roads, or drained and filled to make way for subdivisions.

Although these human

activities are threatening turtle survival, we humans can play an important role in protecting turtles. Here is how you can help.

On the road: When driving along roads between May and October, watch out for turtles trying to cross. If it is safe to do so, stop the car and gently help the turtle across.

If you find an injured turtle: Report it immediately to the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre (OTTC), by calling 705741-5000.

If you find turtle eggs: Leave them where you found them. Special permitting is required to relocate turtle eggs, so make sure to contact the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry for further information. Moving the eggs can actually harm the growing babies, so leave

them be!

On the water: Turtles can be injured or killed by boat propellers.

Canoeing and kayaking are lower impact choices that reduce the chances of injuring turtles. If you are motor boating on the water, slow down or turn off your propeller in shallow areas along shorelines where turtles often congregate. Only boat along marked channels and watch out for turtles in the water.

While outdoors: Be a responsible paddler, hiker, and camper by taking your equipment and garbage home with you.

When left in the wilderness, plastic water bottles, granola bar wrapping, fishing lines, and fish hooks can hurt, trap, or strangle wildlife, including turtles.

Ontario cuts conservation authority funding for flood programs TORONTO _ Ontario conservation authorities say the provincial government has cut their funding for flood management programs in half.

Conservation Ontario, which represents the province's 36 conservation authorities, said impacts of the cuts will be felt immediately, particularly in smaller and more rural areas. ``Cutting natural hazards funding is particularly problematic right now in light of the fact that _ like everywhere else _ Ontario

is experiencing stronger and more frequent flood events as a result of climate change impacts,'' general manager Kim Gavine said in a statement. ``Using a watershed-based approach, conservation authorities deliver effective and cost efficient flood management programs across the province, partnering for many years with the province, municipalities and others.''

Ontario had given $7.4 million to the conservation authorities for that work, but they say that has now

been reduced by 50 per cent.

Conservation authorities forecast flooding and issue warnings, monitor stream flow, regulate development activities in flood plains, educate the public about flooding and protect natural cover that helps reduce the impacts of flooding.

Natural Resources and Forestry Minister John Yakabuski said the government is trying to eliminate the deficit _ currently at $11.7 billion _ and has asked conservation authorities to focus on their core

mandate. ``Flood control is part of that core mandate and we've asked them to focus on that,'' he said. ``Across the province we average less than 10 per cent of conservation authorities' funding. In fact, some of them are as low as 2.5 per cent provincial funding. And we've heard from different conservation authorities across the province that have said that this will not affect their ability to deal with flood management.''

Green party Leader

Mike Schreiner said it's short-sighted, when a flood on one day in August last year in Toronto cost $80 million in insurable losses. ``I don't think there's any way to reconcile saying, 'Focus on your core mandate and then we're going to cut your core mandate in half,' especially at a moment in time when we know the intensity of storms is going up, the risk of flooding is going up, the costs associated with that are going up,'' he said.

The chief administrative officer of Quinte Conserva-

tion said his organization has relied on the province's transfer payment to fund essential flood programs throughout its 6,000 square-kilometre watershed. ``The government has been very clear about its goal to reduce costs, but a 50-per-cent reduction in payments that support government mandated responsibilities will have a significant impact on how we can deliver our programs and services,'' Brad McNevin said in a statement.

GROWING OUR COMMUNITY’S FUTURE

Peacefully at home, Tekahkhwa Ima Jean Johnson began her journey back to the Creator surrounded by family and friends last Saturday. Her life spanned from Ionerahtokha/April 4, 1940 – Ionerahtokha/ April 20, 2019 She will be greeted by her parents David and Marjorie Skye, father and mother in law Frank and Edith Johnson, brother Leroy Smoke, sister Christine Skye, daughter Elizabeth Skye, granddaughter Lindsay Skye and grandson Carney Johnson who have all passed on ahead of her.

Loving wife for 55 years to Manuel Johnson and beloved mother of Danny, Louis (Deneen), Tom (Clara), Wayne (Danielle), Wendy (Gord), Gary (Brenda), Sandy, Tammy, Wanda, Bill (Tara), Connie (Cleveland) & devoted daughter Anita “Deats” Hill. Cherished grandmother of 40 grandchildren and 31 great grandchildren. Loving sister of Melvin (Arliss) and Kelvin (Sharon). Sister in law to Leslie Hagyard, Jim (Romaine) deceased, Welby (Linda), Ambrose

(Joan), and Ron (Hazel).

Medicine friend to both Hazel Johnson and Kylee Johnson. Johnson was also the head Faithkeeper at Lower Cayuga Longhouse.

Johnson was of the Mohawk Nation and Turtle Clan and for over 25 years she served as a Mohawk Language teacher. She developed a curriculum for the Mohawk immersion program at Kawenni:io/ Gaweni:yo Private School and began the tasks of teaching the children the language. In 1998 she received her Ontario Teachers' Certificate through Brock University and her understanding and patience also prompted her to teach Adult Mohawk Language classes at the Six Nations Polytechnic.

Johnson’s passion to teach the Mohawk language to whoever wanted to learn led many to reclaim their language and her devotion to the immersion program reverberates today as she was a Translator at the Kawenni:io/Gaweni:yo Language Preservation Project.

She was named a Six Nations Community Treasure in 2004 and a

Six Nations Indigenous Knowledge Guardian in 2008 and in the following year she was awarded the title of Professor of Indigenous Language.

Rich in the knowledge of Haudenosaunee traditions and culture, she shared her knowledge with women in the Six Nations and Hamilton communities through various prenatal clinics and teaching women's wellness and parenting. Through her gift as a storyteller, many of her teachings were also shared with others as they were meant to.

Johnson was also a member of the Board of Directors for Six Nations Polytechnic, the Six Nations Birthing Centre and a member of the Grandparents of the Birthing Centre.

NishDish, takes on Anishnaabe cuisine over a decade in the making CHEZNEY MARTIN

TWO ROW TIMES

TORONTO — On a bustling corner of Bloor Street West sits NishDish Marketeria, an indigenous food business that started out as a catering company run by Chef Johl Whiteduck Ringuette that now stands as a cafe and restaurant.

Against a back drop of an ever moving city and a presence that resembles the forest, the restaurant known for serving delicious, contemporary and traditional Anishnaabe cuisine is a stark reminder that indigenous resurgence can come in the form of soothing hunger.

Upon seeing the outside of the restaurant, visitors are greeted by an exterior clad in birch bark and the green of early pine nettles.

Upon entry, visitors are then welcomed by a familiar smell not unlike home cooking and a colourful menu with Anishnaabe terms and items. A thirteen moon calendar

TORONTO — Visiting the city, the selection for restaurants with indigenous food has only three choices; one of them being NishDish, an Aninaabe restaurant that serves up traditionally inspired meals and snacks. Above is Salmon Cakes with Dill sauce.

Rainbow Trout Dinners, the menu covers all of the bases in regards to the use of traditional game including salmon and bison and blends traditional veggies including dandelion and fruits to make complimentary tastes and flavours.

Hailing from the Maliseet First Nation, Alexandra McMinniman serves as one of the cooks in the kitchen at Nish Dish. She has lived in Toronto for eight years and formerly lived in New Brunswick — working at the restaurant

be apart of one of them and to be a cook at one of them. I just really enjoy serving all different kinds of people, but I love serving indigenous people and it’s just been a great experience.”

She noted that through working at the restaurant, she has met a lot of different people and she even serves regular customers that she has come to know well. As for the staff, McMinniman said that they are just as diverse, with some employees holding Ojibwe, Oneida and Cree backgrounds. She said that they all work hard and well together.

“We all kind of have a

group effort to put things on the menu and we all think of things, and one person will say something and we’ll just snow ball off of each other,” she said.

Apart from the elk burger being one of the top sellers, McMinniman said that she made a meat loaf that has been selling well and she and the other staff have been thinking of adding elk sloppy joe’s on bannock to the menu in the future. And side from the flavours being extremely hearty or sweet

when needed, the menu is astonishingly affordable.

On Monday, April 29, Nish Dish will also be hosting a 2-year anniversary celebration in remembrance of their grand opening from 4 - 8 p.m., at 690 Bloor St. West.

Nestled at the former home of Tacos el Asador in Koreatown, the restaurant stands as a proud First Nations Owned and Operated Food Emporium with food that is a tasty and homey form of cuisine and history reclamation.

New teacher training on Indigenous history of Niagara Region Second phase of Landscape of Nations 360 Indigenous Education Initiative launches

NAHNDA GARLOW

nahnda@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — A professional teacher training initiative has launched to give educators in the Niagara region confidence delivering indigenous history in the classroom.

The Woodland Cultural Centre announced the launch of the training as the second phase of the Landscape of Nations 360° Indigenous Education Initiative.

“In the work that we do as a museum and educational resource institution, we believe it’s vitally important that the full context and content of Indigenous history be incorporated into educational systems within Ontario and across the country,” said Melanie Fernandez, acting executive director of the Woodland Cultural Centre. “In this regard, the Landscape of Nations Commemorative Memorial serves not only as a reminder of Indigenous contributions to

the defence and shaping of Canada, but also as a prompt for exploring contemporary issues of reconciliation.”

The project is the education component of the Landscape of Nations: Six Nations & Native Allies Commemorative Memorial erected in 2016 in historic Niagara-on-the-lake.

According to a statement, the first phase gathered a roundtable of academic scholars, master

teachers, and Indigenous culture and language specialists to research, produce, and publish the Framework For Essential Understandings About Indigenous Peoples of the Niagara Region.

Phase Two, they say, will focus on the development of a professional teacher training program designed to “directly enhance teachers’ abilities to learn and appropriately incorporate Indigenous

subject matter into the existing Ontario curriculum.”

Several organizations have partnered in the program. Ignite the Spirit of Education Foundation, District School Board of Niagara, Niagara Parks Commission, Niagara Catholic District School Board, Ridley College, and other organizations that supported the construction of the memorial.

Royal Oak Community School will be providing in-kind support and Friends of Laura Secord, which developed the First Nations Peace Monument in Thorold, designed by Douglas Cardinal, will continue to serve as an affiliate. Additionally, for its innovative reconciliation attributes, the project is sanctioned by the Canadian Commission for UNESCO. “We’re delighted and encouraged by the broadbased support this Initiative has received from the premium educational systems and schools within the Niagara Region,” said Tim Johnson, director of LON 360°, “not only because attaining the highest quality of educational content and instruction is our standard, but also because these organizations educate the vast majority of students across the Niagara Peninsula.”

Until recently the inclusion of Indigenous history — and Indigenous content integrated within other disciplines — was virtually absent from school texts and tutorials.

And when some level of information was present it

often lacked the full 360° perspectives that fostered critical thinking skills that are vital to arriving at a balanced and accurate assessment of events and outcomes.

There was little evidence in classroom materials of important historical and contemporary events involving Indigenous peoples, their knowledge and perspective, and little or no integration of those events into the larger narratives of Canadian history.

Landscape of Nations 360° intends to help shift that paradigm.

“The District School Board of Niagara is proud to partner with the Landscape of Nations 360 ̊ project to support both teacher and student learning in this critical area,” said JoAnna Roberto, superintendent of curriculum at the District School Board of Niagara. “As a learning institution, we believe that education has a tremendously important role to play in fostering understanding, respect, and promoting Indigenous pride and healing.”

“The Niagara Catholic District School Board welcomes this opportunity to participate with our local partners in the development of culturally appropriate curricula as we all work together in the spirit of truth and reconciliation,” said Ted Farrell, “Providing professional development for teachers to train and assist them

in integrating Indigenous content into their lessons, with competence and confidence, is exciting.”

The integrated approach advanced by LON 360° in its Essential Understandings Framework, that includes themes such as “global connections,” also appealed to educators at Ridley College, the private international boarding school in St. Catharines.

“At Ridley, we endeavour to provide our teachers and students with diverse and purposeful learning experiences and view this initiative as one adding significant value to our International Baccalaureate programme,” said Headmaster Edward Kidd.

“We're anxious to see our teachers participate in the development of a comprehensive Indigenous Teacher Training Program and for our students to become the beneficiaries of this essential knowledge.”

The establishment of the Landscape of Nations Commemorative Memorial as a public art exhibit has created an engaging and experiential learning space, helping to make Indigenous history real for students and visitors alike.

“Niagara Parks is proud of its role in helping to steward and showcase the Landscape of Nations Commemorative Memorial, which recognizes and celebrates the significant contributions of Indigenous peoples to this area, including their sacrifices and efforts made during the War of 1812,” stated Niagara Parks Chair Sandie Bellows. “This memorial serves not only as a reminder of our shared past, but also acts as a symbol; inspiring us to look to a future where we work together with Indigenous communities and partners to renew and strengthen our long-lasting friendships. That is why we are so pleased to be part of the Landscape of Nations 360 ̊ project.”

years, the six chosen players during the Ontario Hockey League’s Priority Selection at the start of this month lived up to that status.

Steven LaForme was picked in the fifth round (91st overall) by the North Bay Battalion with avid watchers of the 99ers seeing LaForme as the team’s best player on some nights.

LaForme scored 18 goals and added 28 assists in 33 games with the 99ers this season. The five-foot-11, 183-pound

forward also tied for the team scoring lead at the OHL Cup with one goal and three assists. He will be joined in North Bay by the three Don Mills players: Liam Arnsby and twin brothers Paul and Alex Christopoulos.

With its 11th round selection (215th overall), the Kitchener Rangers selected forward Brenden Anderson, of Ohsweken, who scored nine goals and added 12 assists in 33 regular-season games for the 99ers.

At six-foot-four and 175-pounds, Anderson is considered to be a powerful bodied skater and shooter. Picked in the 12th round (224th overall) by Kingston, he’ll be joining Maddox Callens.

With good coaching, the 2004 group is hoped to be led to a third-straight minor midget AAA Alliance title for Brantford.

SIX NATIONS — The Six Nations Rebels earned their third consecutive win over the Point Edward Pacers during their second home game at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena on Friday, April 19.

Their home opener kicked the weekend off Friday, April 12, with their first home win against the Elora Mohawks as they later went on to face the Windsor Clippers at the Forest Glade Arena on foreign soil the following Thursday to take another victory in over time.

The first period went to the Clippers, who buried once at the start of the period and again at the end. While the second and third allowed the Rebels to answer, but the Clippers

pushed back. This brought the game to a head in over time 9-9 with a fixed 10 minute period.

This allowed Chayton King to score his second of the game from Marshall Powless and Austin Giles, and Darrion White to score his first from Marshall Powless. This finalized their exciting match 11-9 for the Rebels.

Trailing that match was a typical win for the Rebels, as they racked up goals against the Pacers.

Although the Pacers started off the first period with a goal in under a minute, Gavin Skye with an unassisted bury, Wesley Whitlow, Mason Hill, Marshall Powless and Austin Giles each scored consecutive singles while Chayton King buried twice to close the period.

The second period allowed another round of consecutive goals from

Wesley Whitlow, Marshall Powless, Chayton King and Justin Martin. The Pacers answered twice before Daylen Hill, Sidney Powless and Justin Martin closed the period with buries.

Brooklin drops Redmen moniker

TWO ROW TIMES

Talks of changing offensive or stereotypical team names have been in the works for years.

While the Brooklin Redmen have been a Senior A lacrosse team for over half a century and have been a key piece of the Durham regions lacrosse chain, they were publicly scrutinized for their name as early as 2017.

Over the years and 7 Canadian Mann Cup Championship titles, the franchise has produced several Ontario and Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame members In 1961 Brooklin was granted a senior lacrosse franchise and from 1961 to 1964 the team was known as the Brooklin Hillcrests.

In 1965 the name was changed to the Brooklin Merchants and was changed again the following year, this time to the Brooklin Redmen.

But, just eight days after McGill University dropped

WHITBY — The Brooklin Redmen Lacrosse Club, a franchise that has held it’s name since 1966, has officially changed their franchise to the Brooklin Lacrosse Club to remove the controversial ‘Redmen’ denomination. PHOTO BY DURHAM REGION

the name ‘Redmen’ for its varsity sports teams, the team announced that they will be changing their name from the Brooklin Redmen Lacrosse Club to just the Brooklin Lacrosse Club for their 53rd season.

The franchise’s Board of Directors voted to drop the “Redmen” denomination and the change has been effective since.

Brooklin is scheduled to kick off their 2019 regular season schedule on June 2, while the local Six Nations Pro-Fit Chiefs commended the franchise on their name change.

“The Brooklin Major Series Lacrosse Club should

be commended in their decision to change their name. I know the organization talked to me about the name change last fall and they have consulted with other First Nations people on the issue. With the recent move by McGill University to drop the ‘Redmen’ name I think it became a no-brainer for Brooklin. Change is always difficult to handle for some.

Brooklin has a rich history and is a proud organization.

They are stepping forwards in the lacrosse community at large and doing their part for Reconciliation,” said Six Nations Pro-Fit Chiefs President Duane Jacobs.

MARYLAND — This custom Lacrosse Sculpture designed for Westfield Annapolis Mall sits as a that piece pays homage to the community’s long history playing the sport. Using more than 50 vintage lacrosse sticks, spiralling up a custom built metal structure, the piece is a unique sight. As Rennie Smith, a lacrosse great from Maryland passed at age 86 last year, the sculpture has been seen as an instalment that “evokes the motion and timeless history of the game.”

TWO ROW TIMES

HAMILTON — Back in September of 2018, Bloomberg reported that Paul Rabil would be launching a new professional lacrosse league with its inaugural season debut on June 1, which includes a six-team and 14-week tour-based schedule taking place in 12 "major-market cities.”

The Premier Lacrosse League (PLL) announced on Thursday, April 18 that the league will play regular season games at the Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton, Ontario on August 17th and 18th, making Hamilton the first international city announced by PLL and the eleventh tour location released.

“The PLL proudly boasts a lineup of the game’s best Canadian

players, ranging from established legends like Brodie Merrill to up and coming stars like Josh Byrne and Joel Tinney,” said Paul Rabil, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer to the PLL Press. “I’ve had the pleasure of playing in major cities throughout Canada during my career and these experiences have been nothing short of spectacular. Additionally, Hamilton’s proximity to Toronto and Buffalo two established lacrosse markets will encourage lacrosse fans throughout each region to come watch exciting, high-stakes competition, wrapped around a world-class fan experience.”

All PLL games will be presented live by NBC Sports Group, including two games on NBC and 17 games on NBC Sports. The rest of the games will be available on NBC Sports Gold, a subscription overthe-top service. The PLL

championship game in September is one of the games that will be broadcast on NBC’s flagship — with the potential to reach nearly 120 million homes.

“As the exclusive home of the PLL, we’ll super-serve fans across the country by utilizing all of our unprecedented assets to drive awareness to this exciting new league. NBC Sports has a long and successful history of growing emerging sports into powerhouses, and we’re excited by this new opportunity,” said Jon Miller, President, Programming for NBC Sports
