LONDON — A unique campaign at Fanshawe College was initiated by indigenous students to raise public awareness about residential schools. The Fanshawe College Institute of Indigenous Learning created the idea
of giving away masks and historical information cards about two residential schools to the staff of Fanshawe. The two schools displayed were the Mohawk Institute (Mush Hole) and Mount Elgin Industrial Institute. They also asked that people donate funds on Orange Shirt Day to the Woodland Cultural Centre’s residential school
restoration project. Indigenous career consultant at Fanshaw, Brian Wollot, oversaw the project. Graphic Design student Douglas Tullett designed the cards along with the help of the Indigenous Student Association President. Indigenous co-op students did the research for the card details and construction of the masks.
OHSWEKEN — Six Nations public health officials confirmed a massive outbreak in coronavirus infections — jumping from 7 active cases to 47 active cases over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Now, Health Services Director Lori Davis Hill is condemning community residents for ignoring public health advice. “Our health care staff are exhausted, and contact-tracing is not yet complete. Health care perspectives and advice can’t be ignored; they are working around the clock to keep us safe.” Said Davis Hill, “We cannot selfishly ignore life-saving advice from them. They are becoming overly stressed as a result of community taking risks to gather.” The new cases include a total of 14 confirmed active cases and 33 probable cases. The Six Nations Emergency Control Group issued a warning late last
week, advising community members against any long weekend gatherings. Davis Hill said the community’s public health workers are exhausted from racing to mitigate the outbreak and said there was little rest for the team over the holiday weekend. In a statement to the community posted to social media, SNGR said, “the spike in cases are associated with private gatherings, members travelling from one gathering to the next which is very saddening when local public health measures stressed against doing exactly this.” “Some members that attended gatherings are symptomatic but not seeking testing, placing the community at a seriously heightened risk of exposure,” said SNGR Elected Chief Mark Hill. “Please get tested if you are unsure, it is better to be safe than sorry.” Now the community’s Emergency Control Group is reconsidering restricting public gatherings again. As a result of the
outbreak, Iroquois Lodge, the community’s nursing home, closed to non-essential visitors. Six Nations public health officials are urging members to halt gathering with those outside one’s own household, to halt non-essential travel — maintain physical distancing, hand washing and surface disinfecting protocols to prevent the outbreak from spreading further. Right now, Ontario is reporting 1,553 new COVID-19 cases over two days, and 12 new deaths. The province says there were 746 new cases recorded Tuesday, and 807 on Monday. Nine of the deaths were reported today, and three on Monday. Health Minister Christine Elliott says today's new cases include 311 in Toronto, 135 in Peel Region and 116 in Ottawa. She says 1,292 cases were marked as resolved over the two days. The province has conducted more than 67,700 tests in that time.

Funding for Addictions Treatment STAFF REPORT

OHSWEKEN — The Ontario government is expanding access to mental health and addiction services at Six Nations with an investment into day treatment for addictions and substance use treatment.
Six Nations Paramedic Services hosted the Ontario Paramedic Memorial Bell at Veterans Park on October 8. The Paramedic Memorial Bell is touring across Ontario in lieu of the traditional Memorial Ride, stopping for periods in several ambulance/paramedic services. The Ceremony gives pause to think of the Paramedics who have fallen in the line of duty, to those serving who have suffered in silence and taken their lives, and to give respects to them and their families. This was the first time the bell came to the Six Nations community. The Bell also toured Six Nations visiting Chiefswood PHOTO BY TRT Park and Pauline Johnson Historic Site, as well as the Sour Springs Longhouse.

A total of $144,400 was invested by Ford’s conservatives as part of an additional $176 million across the province to help fund critical mental health and addition supports during the COVID-19 pandemic. Brant County also received $160,000 for detox services and withdrawal management searches. “We are keeping our promises as a Government
to help the most vulnerable in our Province” said Brantford-Brant MPP Will Bouma. “By funding these vital services, we are bringing the services to the people that need them at the community level and we will continue to make mental health and addictions a focus for the people of Brantford-Brant and Ontario as a whole”.

Canada's top doctor says the second wave of COVID-19 has surfaced as a series of regional epidemics and the federal government is warning about rising case numbers on First Nations. ``Given what we have seen in the last two weeks, there is little doubt the second wave of COVID-19 will hit Indigenous communities harder,'' Minister of Indigenous Services Marc Miller said Thursday in Ottawa. Miller explained that during the first months of the pandemic, infection rates on reserves were relatively low compared to the general public. But in the past six weeks, there have been outbreaks in Indigenous communities across the country. There are currently 123 active cases of COVID-19 on reserves — the majority in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. A First Nation in northern Saskatchewan went into lockdown and closed its schools Thursday over concerns of COVID-19 transmission following a series of religious services where participants were unmasked. And earlier this week, a First Nation in Manitoba took similar action after 19 people in the small, remote community tested positive. Regional epidemics across the country will require a tailored response, said Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada's chief public health
officer. It will also require every person to stay vigilant and ready to adapt to changes, she said. There has been an average of 2,052 new cases daily over the past week. On Thursday, Ontario reported 797 new cases — the most it has had in a single day since the beginning of the pandemic. Ontario Health Minister Christine Elliott said 57 per cent of those new infections were people under the age of 40. Quebec's surging numbers also continued Thursday with 1,078 new cases. There were nine more deaths and hospitalizations increased by 16. Premier Francois Legault said his government was right to recently impose strict measures in the hot spots of Montreal and Quebec City. New restrictions on gyms and sports teams and mandatory masks in classrooms for high school students came into effect Thursday. In addition, several regions between the two cities were moved to the highest COVID-19 alert level. Police checkpoints will be placed on some roads to discourage non-essential travel. Health officials said earlier this week that positive cases among seniors in Quebec were increasing again. Quebec and Ontario have also seen more people needing hospitalization. Tam said in a statement that if the rate of hospitalizations continues to climb, it could put strains on health system capacity.
Alberta also reported its highest daily number of COVID-19 cases with 364 new infections. Health officials announced voluntary measures in Edmonton to slow the spread including limiting gathering sizes to 15 people and wearing masks indoors at work. Regions of the country that saw a low rate of infections earlier this year have seen a swell of positive cases in recent weeks. British Columbia and Manitoba are seeing new daily infections higher than in the spring. New Brunswick went months with very few cases of COVID-19 as part of the Atlantic bubble. But a recent outbreak at a care home and increase in positive cases prompted the province to make masks mandatory in most indoor public places. Non-essential day trips that had been allowed for residents of two Quebec border communities have been banned. ``Based upon what we are seeing in our neighbouring provinces and the outbreak in Moncton, we know how quickly the virus can spread through a community,'' Premier Blaine Higgs said in a news release. ``We must take every possible measure to prevent that from happening in our province.'' Leaders and health officials across the country have urged people to stay home over the Thanksgiving long weekend. ``Make careful choices,'' Dr. Brent Roussin, Manitoba's chief provincial public health officer, warned after announcing 67 new cases.

In a presentation on the proposed facility at Six Nations of the Grand River General Council meeting on Tuesday night, Lori Monture from Six Nations Home and Community Care noted that it has been a significant year for loss in the community. So far a total of 45 members have passed, all but 4 of those have requested to return
home to Six Nations for their end of life care plan. The other four went to the Stedman Hospice in Brantford. Elected councillors unanimously passed five resolutions supporting the work Monture was proposing — including a motion purchase land, supply capital funds for a building and ongoing funds to maintain the Palliative Care program through Six Nations Health Services - Home and Community Care program.

Ontario ultimatum: leave McKenzie Meadows occupation or no voice in court STAFF REPORT
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
CAYUGA — An Ontario Superior Court Judge says people opposing a housing development in Caledonia have just a few more days to leave their occupation site, or they will lose an opportunity to have their concerns heard before the courts. Justice RJ Harper told Skyler Williams that if demonstrators who have been occupying the McKensie Meadows housing development site in Caledonia don’t leave the
property before October 22, he will not be allowed to present his case before the courts before the judge decides whether or not to issue a permanent injunction on the land. Williams has been acting as a spokesperson for the people opposing the housing development for the last 88 days. The project has the support of the Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council, and went through a public consultation process in the community to illicit support for the project and hear if any opposition. Six Nations of the
Grand River accepted an accommodation deal with Foxgate to see two new housing projects in Caledonia. In exchange, the developer gave 42.85 acres of farm land and $352,000 to SNGREC 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. Lawyers for the housing developer say that while the parcel of land is under land claim, the compensation being sought by the community is financial settlements and not
return of the lands. While in court on Friday, lawyers condemned Williams for openly defying the injunctions on the development site and disrespecting the courts. Just a few weeks ago the Six Nations Elected Council heard an update from Williams about the occupation. Council members thanked Williams for the update but some members actively condemned the protest — saying they do not support or agree with protests. In an update to social media on the occupation of the development site,
Williams shared a photo of OPP cruisers increasing their presence in the area around the protesters. “More pressure being applied to the OPP. They’ve decided to set up a shop directly across the street from Landback Lane as well as at the entrance to our community on 6th Line and Argyle St. Why do the OPP insist on spiking up an already tense situation,” wrote
Williams. As part of the courts submissions Friday, OPP West Region Regional Commander John Cain filed an affidavit and reported that police saw no benefit to raiding the camp and said taking such action could result in railways, bridges and hydro stations being "attacked and damaged in retaliation for the use of force by police.”

The great Kerby Island Buffalo Hunt of 1890 JIM WINDLE
jim@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
It wasn’t uncommon in the 1890s’ to see cows grazing on Kerby Island on the Grand River in Brantford. Local farmers would wade their cows across the shallows to the always lush Kerby Island. The Hawkins family were living on what is now known as Brant Ave and farmed a piece of land that did not back up to the river. It was a regular occurrence to see Hawkins driving his herd of cows on Brant Ave, down Church Street to the river and from there, across to the island. The summer of 1897, Brantford hosted the world acclaimed Buffalo
Bill’s Cody’s Wild West Show at what was then known as Agricultural Park, now known as Lorne Park. Among the large troop of performers, riggers and animals was the great Chief Sitting Bull, scratching out a living as a curiosity. A sad state for a once great leader. If one thing is known about buffalo it is that they hate being penned up. On this specific night they broke through the temporary fencing put up around them and the beasts broke out. They went as a small herd to find fresh grazing land and forded the shallows onto Kerby Island and began to graze there joining the local grazing cattle. The next morning, Cody’s animal wranglers and performers set off to gather
up the wayward Bison. An account of the situation was recorded in the Expositor and was republished in Jean Wildie’s book, ‘Brant County - The Story of its People.’ “The cowboys on their mustangs crossed the old Lorne Bridge and went on up Brant Ave and down Church Street as far as the Herby Mill, thence crossed the river to the island where, after more than an hour of lassoing and rounding up, they finally succeeded in returning the herd to the show grounds.” Cody had family ties in Ontario. Although born in Iowa, he lived for several years in his father's hometown in Toronto before the family returned to the USA and settled in Kansas. Cody died on January 10th, 1917 and received a full Masonic funeral at the Elks Lodge Hall in Denver Colorado. He became a Knights Templar in 1889 and received his 32nd degree in the Scottish Rite in 1894.

He eventually earned about $50 a week (equal to around $1,500 today) for riding once around the arena, where he was a most popular attraction. PHOTO OBTAINED BY TRT

Facing systemic racism CANADIAN PRESS
editor@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
OTTAWA — Combating systemic racism experienced by Indigenous women and girls requires better training and education starting in childhood, says former Opposition leader and ongoing advocate for girls' rights Rona Ambrose. Ambrose, the author of a new book celebrating the International Day of the Girl, says teaching kids early about equality equips them to speak up when they witness or experience discrimination later in life. ``Having these conversations with boys and girls at a really young age is, I think, absolutely essential to really make sure that they absorb what it is to be equal,'' she said. ``And make that part of their identity of that a very, very young age.'' That a dying Quebec Indigenous woman, Joyce Echaquan, was taunted with racist slurs while in hospital last month by professional adults is ``unconscionable,'' said Ambrose, and there must be accountability for those involved. Two people have been fired, and a coroner's inquest will be held into the incident. On Tuesday, Quebec Premier Francois Legault apologized to her family. But too often stories like Echaquan's are met with a collective gasp of shock and then nothing really changes, Ambrose said. While interim Conservative leader in 2017, Ambrose introduced a bill that would mandate training for judges to ensure they weren't being influenced by stereotypes when ren-
dering decisions in sexual assault cases. ``That's why we put forward things like this bill, so that people in the highest positions of our system get training,'' she said. ``But frankly, that kind of training should exist for a lot of people that are interfacing with the public.'' The bill languished in the Senate, despite a cross-partisan show of support in the House of Commons, and died when an election was called last fall. It was reintroduced last week by the Liberals, and Ambrose said the fact it has the backing of the country's justice minister gives her confidence it will pass. While the bill is important, efforts to educate must go beyond legislation, she said, and that's why she's written the book, along with co-author Jessica Dee Humphreys. International Day of the Girl: Celebrating Girls Around The World is a project that Ambrose has long had in the works, linked to an achievement during her days in politics to get the UN to agree to setting aside Oct. 11 as the international day of the girl. In writing the book, she said it was important to not skip over the fact that there are girls in Canada who also struggle with inequality. Included is a story based on that of Shannen Koostachin, whose advocacy for a school in the First Nation community of Attawapiskat drew international attention. She died in a car accident at the age of 15 in 2010, and Ambrose said her family is aware that a version of her story appears in the book, using a different name. The story is one of

nine featuring girls from around the world who have overcome obstacles often deliberately placed in their way. Ambrose's share of the proceeds from the book will go to charity. ``For me, it's about teaching kids to be better and great global citizens,'' she said. ``But then it's also to raise awareness that there's a lot of work to be done around gender equality. And then what it looks like to overcome those challenges.'' A key challenge facing governments now, Ambrose said, is how to respond to the gender inequality created by the COVID-19 pandemic. During past economic recessions, pouring money into infrastructure projects was a tried-and-true way to spur growth, and it does work, Ambrose said. Except the jobs those projects create are more likely to go to men, and in the context of the pandemic, women's livelihoods are under attack. Jobs in retail or hospitality are dominated by women, and those sectors are in crisis. Meanwhile, women are also seeing all the formal and informal supports they had for childcare become far less reliable, she said. The question, Ambrose said, is what the policy response can or should be. ``Can you fix this with money? Or is it fixed with a better testing regime to make sure that we keep daycares and schools open?,'' she said. ``And then corporations, companies are going to have to figure out how to stop this backslide and accommodate a lot of issues that women are dealing with in the workforce.''

OHSWEKEN — A grassroots group of community members has undertaken work to restore the old council building in Ohsweken. In a presentation to the elected council, Rick Monture explained that the building has been in disrepair over the years and that a steering committee has acquired community funding to begin restorative work to the structure.
Monture said restoration experts have been to the site and have remarked that the structural integrity is still very good with mild brick crumbling at the northeast corner of the building. Next, said Monture, is the removal of asbestos and lead paint that is in the building. Funding was provided by the Haudenosaunee Development Institute to begin restoration. Monture said that while no provincial or federal grants have been acquired, the group is discussing whether or not it
will be necessary and said there have been discussions to have all expenses for the restoration covered by community funds as an act of sovereignty. The building was erected in 1863, four years before Canada became a country. It was built on land donated by Six Nations band members and was built by people from the community. Monture said the intention of restoring the building is to restore a sense of community pride in the history of the people of Six Nations.

COMMUNITY RESIDENT TRUSTEE
WINNIPEG — The Manitoba government and the Manitoba Metis Federation appear headed to a showdown over moose hunting that the federation says could end up in the country's highest court. The government announced Friday that it is cancelling a short-term, limited moose-hunt season that was planned for this fall in the Duck Mountain and Porcupine Mountain areas. The area has been under a moratorium since 2011. And the government said moose numbers have not rebounded, so the moratorium will continue for another year. ``Despite ? conservation closures, the moose population has not recovered to historic levels in those areas due to illegal hunting pressure and natural causes,'' Agriculture and Resource Development Minister Blaine Pedersen said. The Metis federation said Friday it is going ahead with a planned hunt
later this month. Elders in the region have reported healthier moose numbers, and a limited hunt of 60 bull moose, split between First Nations and Metis hunters, is sustainable, the group said. ``Indigenous people have rights, and the right for us to feed our families, for sustenance, is very clear in the law,'' federation president David Chartrand said. ``If I have to take this all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada — if I have to spend $1 million or $2 million — I will.'' The government is trying to subject Indigenous hunters to the same rules and limits as non-Indigenous ones, Chartrand said. He also said the government has failed in its duty to consult with Indigenous groups on the issue. Pedersen said he has talked with Indigenous groups and has the right to protect animal populations when they become low. ``Manitoba has the duty and the obligation to
protect the wildlife populations, including moose,'' Pedersen said. The dispute came the same day the province announced increased enforcement of hunting laws, targeted mostly at hunters who use spotlights at night. A law passed by the legislature in 2018 that sets strict limits on the practice and makes it easier for conservation officers to lay charges took effect Friday. Pedersen said there will soon be more officers in the field. ``There will be increased aerial surveillance. We're making sure we've got boots on the ground. There's a variety of measures,'' Pedersen said. The Metis federation and the Progressive Conservative government have been at odds for years over hunting rights. In 2017, following the deaths of two men in night-hunting accidents, Premier Brian Pallister said night hunting was dangerous and leading to a ``race war.''

Austin Staats paying huge dividends for San Diego Seals NEIL BECKER

TWO ROW TIMES
Throughout the years, many star lacrosse players from Six Nations have realized that ultimate dream of being an NLL first -round draft choice. Prominent names such as Cody Jamieson (Rochester Knighthawks, 2010, No 1 overall), Johnny Powless (Rochester Knighthawks, 2011, No 5 overall), Randy Staats (Georgia Swarm, 2015, No 6 overall) and Brendan Bomberry (Georgia Swarm, 2018, No 7 overall) are just a few of the many first round picks who have represented Six Nations well by putting up some solid numbers in the National Lacrosse League. The latest first round Six Nations product to electrify in the NLL with his immense talent is former Onondaga Community College lacrosse standout Austin Staats who at the 2018 NLL draft, was selected first overall by the expansion San Diego Seals. Months before the draft, Staats was coming off a magical spring, which saw him dominate by scoring 43 goals, 75 points and leading Onondaga Community College to that ultimate goal of a junior college national championship, and raising his stock even higher as a can’t miss rising star. Staats, who finished up his dynamic two-year Onondaga Community College playing career with 156 points and two
In his first season, Staats dominated as he went on to lead rookies with 32 goals and 61 points as he won the 2019 NLL Rookie of the Year. Meanwhile the 2020 NLL Virtual Draft saw another Six Nations product in Marshall Powless drafted first round, seventh overall by PHOTO BY LAXSPORTSNETWORK.COM the Saskatchewan Rush.
national champions under his felt, officially made history when on Tuesday September 25 2018, he became the expansion San Diego Seals first ever draft choice selection. A short time later, this 6 foot 200-pounder, who was a two-time All-American Attacker in college, officially inked his name on a rookie contract. “We’re very excited to lock in Austin,” Seals GM and head coach Patrick Merrill said at the time. “Austin has championship pedigree and is a perfect player to start a franchise with and build around.” Saying that Staats has championship pedigree is
not an exaggeration as he has quite the impressive resume. On this resume are several accomplishments including helping the Six Nations Chiefs to a 2016 Mann Cup along with winning three Minto Cup championships in 2014, 2015 and 2017 with the Six Nations Arrows. Other huge playing highlights include hoisting the Founders Cup with the 2013 Six Nations Rebels and back in 2018 when he lived the thrill of taking home bronze at the 2018 FIL World Lacrosse Championships where he earned a spot on the All-World Team. Wasting no time, Staats
made a strong statement in his NLL debut as this generational talent grabbed the spotlight. Proving why he was chosen first overall, Staats scored four goals and added five assists in leading the expansion Seals to their first win in franchise history, which was a 17-12 decision against the Colorado Mammoth. Riding that momentum, Staats went on to have a historic season as he was named NLL Rookie of the Week on four occasions in a magical first year which saw him finish first among rookies in goals with 32 and total points with 61. Not surprisingly, a few months after the season

Staats made history when he was officially named the 2019 National Lacrosse League Rookie of the Year. “It’s an absolute dream come true,” Staats said. “Ever since I was a little kid, I dreamt of being a professional lacrosse player. I’m honored to have won this award for my family, my team and for the fans in San Diego.” Three years previously it was Swarm rookie and older brother Randy Staats who was in the spotlight as he tallied 36 goals and 95 points in winning the 2016 NLL Rookie of the Year. “We’re incredibly proud of this honor that Austin has received,” Merrill

said. “I’ve been fortunate enough to coach him since he was in junior lacrosse and it’s been fun to watch him develop as a man and a player. On top of being a talented lacrosse player, what sets Austin apart is his competitiveness and his ability to be a good teammate. We’d like to congratulate Austin for being named the NLL Rookie of the Year on behalf on the entire Seals organization.” No question, this was a proud moment for the Six Nations community, as this was the first time that brothers have won the NLL Rookie of the Year award. Another notable name from Six Nations who is a past NLL Rookie of the Year recipient is Craig Point who as a rookie in 2008, scored 27 goals and 61 points in winning the award. Unfortunately for Austin Staats, it wasn’t a storybook ending to his rookie season as he suffered a torn ACL in his right knee which caused him to miss the last few games of the season and playoffs. The following season, on February 1, 2020, Staats was brought back onto the Active Roster. During a season which was cut short in March due to COVID-19, Staats played in five games where he scored 10 goals and 26 points. Meanwhile, just embarking on his NLL career is another Six Nations phenom in Marshall Powless who was taken seventh overall in last months 2020 virtual draft by the Saskatchewan Rush.

The Buffalo Sabres have recently re-signed restricted free agent defenceman Brandon Montour to a one-year $3.85 million dollar contract. This 26- year-old is coming off a campaign which saw PHOTO BY him score 5 goals and 18 points.

Sabres sign restricted free agent Brandon Montour NEIL BECKER
neil@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
Back in August, Sportsnet’s respected hockey broadcaster/journalist Elliotte Friedman talked on the 31 Thoughts Podcast show about a rumor he heard involving Buffalo Sabres restricted free agent defenceman Brandon Montour. Discussing restricted free agency, Friedman mentioned that he heard there was a chance that the Sabres were going to walk away from one of their 11 restricted free agents in Montour, who was coming off a 5 goal, 18- point season. Not long afterwards, Sabres GM Kevyn Adams denied those rumours, which proved to be inaccurate as Montour signed back with Buffalo on Saturday, October 10 to a one-year $3.85 million dollar deal. Known for his puck moving pedigree and exceptional skating, this 26- year-old defenceman was traded just before the 2019 NHL trading deadline to Buffalo from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for fellow defenceman Brendan Guhle and a 2019 first round pick. Since coming to Buffalo
on February 24, 2019, Montour has played 74 total games with the Sabres where he has produced eight goals and 28 points. Known for his offensive abilities, Montour was coming off a standout season which saw him score 14 goals and 62 points with Waterloo in the United States Hockey League, before finally realizing that ultimate dream of hearing his name being called in the second round, 55 overall by Anaheim at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. His first full season, which was the 2017-2018 campaign proved to be Montour’s most productive as he went on to score 9 goals and 32 points while defensively posting a +16 rating. Despite Buffalo re-signing Montour, there is still speculation that he might be moved by next year’s NHL trade deadline, since Montour is a pending unrestricted free agent after next season. Obviously, Buffalo wouldn’t want to see him walk away with them getting nothing in return. Currently, in his young career, Montour has played in 243 NHL games where he has produced 24 goals and 91 points along with a +20 defensive rating.
Life is good for Owen Hill, who recently signed a two-year contract with the Rochester Knighthawks. Selected by Rochester last month third round, 38 overall in the 2020 NLL Virtual Draft, Hill has proven over part of the last five seasons with the Six Nations Rebels and Six Nations Arrows to be quite a solid clutch performer. “Owen is a very smart and skilled player and he’s going to be a guy that can be an NLL player,” Knighthawks GM Dan Carey said about a week after the draft. “We see a lot of positives and good things in him and I think that over time we see him as a little bit of a player that may need a little bit of time to develop, but he may prove us wrong from that perspective. I think that his skill level and IQ are definitely appealing to us. He just seems to be a great, young player that’s destined to play in the NLL.” Hill, who plays at Syracuse University, had his best season in 2019 with the Jr ‘A’ Arrows when this transition man scored nine goals and 22 points. During his time over the years with the Arrows, this 5’9” 155- pound athlete has totaled 12 goals and 31 assists for 43 total points in 36 games played. Meanwhile Hill had his best season with the Junior ‘B’ Rebels in 2017 when in Junior ‘B’ competition that year he put up career numbers with 16 goals, 45 points along with 33 penalty minutes. All told, Hill throughout his Junior ‘B’ career dressed in Rebels colors for 37 games where he went on to score 32 goals and 38 assists for 70 total points. All together during the past five years with the Arrows and Rebels, Hill has played in 73 games where he ended up with 44 goals and 113 points along with racking up 69

penalty minutes. At school, Hill harnessed his lacrosse skills first during 2014-15 at McKinnon Park Secondary School followed from 2016-18 at the prestigious Hill Academy where he had success in helping them win consecutive Geico High School Nation-
al Championship titles in the 2017 and 2018 campaigns. During that magical 2018 season, Hill excelled with 15 goals. These are obviously grand times for Hill who has accomplished that goal of being drafted into the NLL. Now the hard work begins, as he will be
looking to prove himself during his rookie season with the Knighthawks. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s still up in the air regarding when exactly the upcoming season will be kicking off.

CW is missed everyday by us and so many others. We love hearing stories of his little visits.
Hunting camps were busy this year. He said he was going hunting this year just in a different way. Our days are so much different as well. Always looking for him, seeing his vehicles, hearing someone come back with some quick-witted remark. There’s times when we are in a hurry to tell him something or ask his advice. Thank you to those that made donations in CW’s name to Miles To Go Cancer Support Group or Community Living. These are so much appreciated.
Again, we can’t begin to name name’s for fear of forgetting someone. Believe us we really, truly appreciate everything that was done and continues to be done for us. We may not have responded to all the text messages, emails and facebook messages but we did read them. We talk often about all the wonderful things that people have done. Perhaps you sent a lovely card, or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a funeral spray, if so, we saw it there. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words that anyone could say. Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day. Whatever you did to console our hearts, we thank you so much whatever the part. Love always,
Toni, Jimmer & Mel, Casey & Darcy, Corey, Carey & Roger
