Removal of barricade on Hwy. 6 could take weeks DONNA DURIC
donna@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
The removal of a threemonth long barricade on the Hwy. 6 bypass in Caledonia is up to the OPP and not Six Nations people, says a spokesperson for the "Land Back Lane" housing development reclamation in Caledonia. Skyler Williams announced last week that Six Nations supporters of Land Back Lane agreed to allow the removal of barricades, opening up the Hyw. 6 bypass for the first time in three months. But the removal, which was expected last week, remains up in the air, said Williams. "It's all hanging on the cops and MTO (Ministry of Transportation)," said Williams. "We've been off there for five days. They have not made any attempt so far to fix anything." OPP Spokesperson Rodney Leclair said repair crews are being prevented access to the Sixth Line overpass and that's causing the hold up. "Repairs are required on the bypass and the Sixth Line overpass in order
The roadblock removal may take longer than a few days accordPHOTO BY DONNA DURIC ing to a source.
to re-open the bypass. Demonstrators continue to prevent access to the Sixth Line overpass which is causing a delay in the safe re-opening of the bypass." He said the MTO has completed their assessment and repairs are scheduled to start this week. "I don’t have a timeline as to when it will be completed but I have been told it will take weeks as opposed to days to complete. Road repairs on Argyle Street in front of the church are completed and access is limited to the church only. Argyle Street remains closed due to significant and further damage to the roadway just north of Sixth Line caused by demonstrators overnight on Jan. 20." McKenzie Road also remains closed between
Fuller Drive and York Road due to damage to the roadway. Repairs will need to be completed before the roadway can be safely opened for through traffic, he said. "Once demonstrators cease to prevent access, plans will be put in place to repair the roadway." Williams said Land Back Lane supporters want to reopen the bypass to ensure area residents can get to work or medical appointments without having to take a long detour as they've been doing for the past three months. The roadblock on Argyle Street between Braemar Ave. and Sixth Line will remain but it will be moved back slightly to allow access to the parking lot at Caledonia Baptist Church, said Williams.
The roadblocks were set up in response to OPP spraying Land Back Lane supporters with rubber bullets, said Williams. Last July, a small number of Six Nations people stopped construction of a former housing development site in Caledonia known as McKenzie Meadows, saying the property sits on unceded Six Nations land. Since then, a number of supporters have been arrested for defying a court injunction barring anyone from setting foot on the former construction site. Three months ago, supporters of Land Back Lane shut down the bypass and Argyle Street in response to those arrests, said Williams. He said police used rubber bullets on the protesters at Hwy. 6 and Sixth Line on Oct. 22 and in response, roads were shut down for the safety of Land Back Lane supporters. "One guy was shot in the back of the leg and another guy had taser darts in his back but was able to pull away," said Williams. "The barricades went up as a means to keep our people safe. It was a crazy time to see those rubber bullets
flying by and for me that was the second time I've been shot at. It's high time that we find some peaceful resolution. I think folks on both sides (Six Nations and Caledonia) are quite sick of this going on." Caledonia Mayor Ken Hewitt said the cost of fixing the roads will be about $250,000 to $450,000. He said the roads have been "destroyed" adding they were "completely dug up." "My position has always been consistent. I don't believe roads should be blocked. I don't believe they should be destroyed." He said he was looking forward to the roads reopening. "I'm excited for the road to be open but there's an expectation that all the roads in this community should be open. I'll be a lot more excited for both communities when we can see some common ground between and the ability to help our communities get to where we want to be rather than staring at an old junky school bus on the side of the road." An old school bus lays across Argyle Street as part of the barricade structure keeping the road closed. PM42686517

Six Nations Cannabis Commission seeking to incorporate DONNA DURIC
donna@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
Six Nations Elected Council is holding off on incorporating the Six Nations Cannnabis Commission, citing taxation concerns and the need to seek a legal opinion first. "I'm totally against incorporation simply because...we all know the issues we've had with the (economic) development corporation," said Coun. Helen Miller at a political liaison meeting Monday. The Six Nations Cannabis Commission sought council approval to become a corporation, saying it would provide them with legal protections, among other benefits. The commission is also looking to establish a trust to hold community funds gleaned from the cannabis industry on Six Nations. But Coun. Miller had concerns about the trust, as well, after commission members provided an update to council at Monday's meeting. "I see from the presentation they want to set up a trust. We've already got two trusts in our community that don't seem to be
working out too great for our community. I have a lot of concerns with this." Jeremy Burke, a legal advisor for the SNCC, said it's important to be incorporated, "so that commissioners and staff will have same types of protections that legal corporations have." Without incorporation, individual commission members face legal liability. "That type of legal liability is not appropriate for anybody," said Burke. The commission said council had the option to incorporate as a for profit or not-for-profit entity. The for-profit option means revenues are subject to tax and the not-for-profit is shielded from taxation, said Burke. "In either case, the shareholder or the member would be SNGR (Six Nations of the Grand River) elected council and there would be articles of incorporation and a by-law for governing the corporation," he said. A not-for-profit corporation is exempt from taxes, he explained, because it doesn't operate for the benefit of its members. "It has certain rules about what it can and can't do with revenues
generated and the idea is that all of the commission's revenues, above what it requires for operating, would be put back into the community as a community contribution." Burke also recommended council set up a trust arrangement for community contributions from cannabis revenues where the commission, council and community would have say in how community contribution is used. The SNCC was created almost two years at arm's length from elected council to develop regulations for a cannabis industry on Six Nations. Council funds the commission. The commission also asked for council support in choosing a financial institution to conduct its banking. Commission Chair Nahnda Garlow said they are currently looking to acquire equipment to test cannabis quality. "We've hit a couple of snags in trying to get the equipment to facilitate our own testing facilty," she said. The commission contacted suppliers who are hesitant to supply to anyone in Canada unless they have a Health
Canada license to be a tester. The commission is not licensed under Health Canada and is looking to create its own regulations outside of federal or provincial cannabis regulations. "We are looking at a testing lab in Manitoba that is for sale," said Garlow. "They're closing up. We may be able to secure the equipment from that facility and bring it to Ontario." She said the commission has been approached by two business owners in community to fund the testing facility as a way to give back. Garlow said the commission needs council representatives as it moves toward discussions with Health Canada and the province, "to chart a path forward so that we can acquire that testing equipment without having the Health Canada license." The commission is looking to launch its retail sector soon but it needs to ensure it has testing equipment in place first. "We need to secure safe product for dispensaries (on Six Nations) to sell in their shops. We are looking to issue
(a proposal) to Health Canada-licensed producers to find out if anyone will be willing to supply dispensaries on Six Nations without the federal government's approval." "I have a lot of concerns with these recommendations," said Coun. Miller. "I really think council needs to sit down and have a good discussion on them." Coun. Audrey Powless-Bomberry agreed and added they should get a legal opinion on incorporation, as well. "They're major decisions and we need time to think about it and discuss." Coun. Hazel Johnson said historically, elected council has hesitated to incorporate any organization on Six Nations and that they need to further discuss the possibility of incorporating the SNCC. Only a handful of councillors were present at Monday's meeting. "All previous councils have been very reluctant with regard to incorporation," said Johnson. "That tax issue is a real big scare for many people. I think we really need to discuss this in depth before we make any decision on it."
Burke said elected council still have the right to appoint commissioners and be the sole shareholder of the commission after incorporation. "The elected council would still have the right to appoint commissioners. Council could replace and elect directors of corporation. Technically, the commission would still be under the full control of council. Council still has the ability to hold the reins, even if they're not pulling on them." Coun. Miller said the issue needed further discussion. "Cannabis is going to be a big safety issue in our community. I think council has to be on top of that and be heavily involved in this cannabis. If something happens, if somebody got bad weed from somebody and got sick, it's council that's going to be getting sued. Because it's a safety issue, council has to be involved and that's another reason I don't agree with incorporation." The commission is expected to hold an online community meeting in February.

Affordable housing needed for Indigenous people in Brantford By Donna Duric BRANTFORD — Brantford just got funding for four tiny homes to help with the city's homelessness crisis, but the city has yet to address the lack of housing for its Indigenous population. The federal government announced last week it was providing $200,000 for a tiny housing project on Stirton Street that will consist of four, 300 sq. foot self-contained housing units. And even though the
city is facing a housing crisis - with over 1,700 households on a waiting list for affordable housing - no funding has been provided for Indigenous people, who make up roughly 10 per cent of the population in Brantford. That's despite Ontario announcing $1.5 billion in funding to help alleviate housing issues in the province. Liberal MP Adam Vaughan, parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Family, Children and Social Development, and
Conservative MPP Will Bouma both said during the funding announcement last week that Covid-19 has made the province's pre-existing housing crisis even worse. "We know the impact Covid is having on the most vulnerable people in our communities, including those who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless," said Bouma. They hope to work with federal and municipal partners to find specific solutions for Indigenous housing in Brantford.
"I look forward to working with the city on that," said Bouma. Brantford Mayor Kevin Davis said the city identified affordable housing as one of its top three priorities during a special council meeting last fall. "The reality is that 10 per cent of our population is Indigenous by background," said Davis. "We are in discussions with aboriginal housing - there are some projects we are considering. It's very much in the early planning stages that would be
more intended towards indigenous housing." Bouma said the project takes advantage of the tiny home trend, which allows for more cost-efficient construction. "If we are to tackle Ontario's housing crisis, then we need to look to innovative solutions like tiny homes and modular housing. We're tailoring our approach for different categories of housing providers, including Indigenous Housing providers, smaller providers with capacity challenges
and larger ones who are further along in their planning...to ensure that all providers get the help that they need." Mayor Davis said affordable housing is a "pressing need" in Brantford. "The need for affordable housing in our community has never been greater and exacerbated by the pandemic. Even before this pandemic we had over 1,700 households on our community housing waitlist.

'Your Land'? Some question Biden's inaugural song CANADIAN PRESS

TWO ROW TIMES

On the first day of Joe Biden's presidency, Native Americans had reason to celebrate. Biden halted construction of the border wall that threatened to physically separate Indigenous people living on both sides. He also revoked a permit for the Keystone XL oil pipeline that tribes fought in court for years, and he agreed to restore the boundaries of the first national monument created specifically at the request of tribes in southern Utah. Inaugural events showcased tribes across the country in traditional regalia, dancing and in prayer. But amid the revelry, some Native Americans saw a glitch in Wednesday's swearing-in ceremony. The only mention of Indigenous people came in the benediction delivered by the Rev. Silvester Beaman. And then there was the mishmash of songs sung by Jennifer Lopez that included lyrics
from ``This Land is Your Land.'' The folk tune is popular around campfires and in grade schools, but it also called to mind the nation's long history of land disputes involving tribes. ``Oh, I love J.Lo,'' said Kristen Herring, who is Lumbee and lives in Austin, Texas. ``It wasn't super disappointing that she sang it. But I was like, `Oh, why did that have to be on the list of things to sing?''' Woody Guthrie, who wrote the song in the 1940s, meant it as a retort to ``God Bless America'' and a rebuke to monetizing land at a time of economic crisis, said Gustavus Stadler, an English professor and author of ``Woodie Guthrie: An Intimate Life.'' Lopez put a twist on it, throwing in part of the Pledge of Allegiance in Spanish that translates to ``justice for all.'' The Guthrie song has been a symbol of equality, inclusion and unity. Lady Gaga sang a rendition of it at the Super Bowl months after Donald Trump took office. It was part of Barack Obama's
inaugural programming, with a trio of singers, including Bruce Springsteen, adding back some of the original, more controversial verses. But arriving amid an effort by some tribes to be recognized as stewards of ancestral land, a movement known as Land Back, the lyrics hit the wrong note for some tribal members. ``It's a nice little sentiment that America is this mixing pot,'' said Benny Wayne Sully, who is Sicangu Lakota and lives in Los Angeles. ``But does anybody believe this land was made for you and me? Or was it made for white folks? People forget this land was made of brown people before it was colonized.'' Rep. Deb Haaland, who is from Laguna Pueblo in New Mexico, acknowledged that perspective in a virtual welcoming to the inaugural events over the weekend. She's been nominated to lead the Interior Department, which oversees tribal affairs. If confirmed, she would be the first Native American in a Cabinet post.

Bill C-15 and the debate around UNDRIP becoming Canadian law RACHEL A. SNOW
rachelannsnow634@gmail.com
TWO ROW TIMES
An act respecting the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) is being prepped to go “under” Canadian law. Across this land, First Nation Indigenous are hotly debating what this means. Clearly, the only thing these debates show is that non First Nations, mainstream media and some of our own Indigenous people do not understand the distinct arguments being pushed into one federal act. First of all, UNDRIP was a good concept - argued and written at the UN level. But if you read Charmaine Whiteface’s, “Indigenous Nations’ Rights in Balance: an Analysis of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples”, you will see the haggling that emerged when Indigenous voices were diminished in the final document. The inclusion of Section 46 in the UNDRIP negates all other words. Section 46 is the veto of the Western World. Why then, is there such a debate about Bill C-15? Different First Nations have distinct arguments but Canada keeps trying to put all First Nations, Metis and Inuit under one pan-Indigenous approach. The historic Treaty groups (Treaties 1-11) continue to argue that their treaties pre-date Canada. From the eastern door, the peace and friendship
treaties also argue from a pre-existing Canadian stance. This is why the Mi’kmaq are currently having issues with fisheries. Their treaty stipulates that their people have a right to trade. Canada knows this. Canada argued against Donald Marshall Jr. all the way to Supreme Court. But the pre-existing relationship and contractual agreement held. Canada does know there are First Nations who have a higher standing in whiteman made law then the little state of Canada. Canada recognizes that their existence is predicated on a contract between Britain and the original peoples that were “here first”. Canada has been trying to erase this contractual agreement that made “Canada” possible. Canada drew up the Indian Act to “control and manage” their international treaty obligations. Canada attempted to break the relationship by controlling every aspect of Indian lives through this Act. The Indian Act was, is and continues to be Canada’s legislation that breaks the spirit and intent of the treaties or the intended international relationship between nations. The Indian Act forced residential school attendance, controlled elections on reserve, forced economic underdevelopment, and set membership rules for who is and who is not an Indian. For decades, Indian Agents controlled who was allowed to leave the reserve for specific purposes for limited time.
Through the Indian Act, Canada disallowed traditional practices, and made it illegal to hire a lawyer if the Indians felt Canada was breaking treaty promises. Canada had the Indian Act in place to exonerate and extinguish what John A. MacDonald called “the Indian problem”. Similar to MacDonald, Pierre Elliot Trudeau believed all Canadians are “equal”. So he wanted to legislate out the “special status” of Indians. Pierre Trudeau used the 1969 White Paper to begin this process. When First Nation leaders fought back, Pierre Trudeau publicly retreated. Then Pierre Trudeau wanted Canada to stand on its own with a Canadian constitution. Some Indian leaders lobbied the British Crown. After significant Indian and public pressure, Pierre Trudeau had to stand down and allow Section 35 into the Canadian Constitution. At this time, First Nations were split on their inclusion into the constitution with a Coalition of First Nations opposing the patriation process. Canada included a Section 37 process of First Ministers’ Conferences on Aboriginal Matters: the First Ministers and national chief/ indigenous groups attended First Ministers’ Conferences in the 1980’s to discuss an agenda about the meaning of Aboriginal and Treaty rights in Section 35 of the new constitution. The main issue discussed was whether “self-government” is an “Inherent right” or a

Garlow Media
“conditional right” dependent on reaching agreements with the federal, provincial and territorial governments. The First Ministers’ ran out the clock on these conferences. Since 1987 Canada has done nothing. Periodically Canada tries to introduce some legislation that alters the nation-to-nation relationship but Treaty First Nations are quick to strike back with their international standing. Pierre Elliot Trudeau’s son, Justin Trudeau is now Prime Minister. Over the past few years Justin has already passed similar deceptive legislation for Indigenous Peoples, including First Nations. A new federal UN Declaration Bill C-15 now purports to bring in a framework of “affirmation” of UNDRIP through a federal “Action-Plan” over a threeyear period that will use a domestic law definition of UNDRIP to lower UNDRIP international standards. Doesn’t this delay tactic sound familiar? Doesn’t Bill C-15 echo the failed First Ministers conferences time line and process? Trudeau the younger can once again “run out” the clock. He has given even less time that his father did in the 1980’s! Meanwhile mainstream media reports federally funded organizations like the Assembly of First Nations (AFN), mainstream provincially and federally elected “Indigenous” politicians (MLAs and MPs) and some “Indigenous” lawyers, Human rights groups,
religious orders and the Unions represented by the Canadian Labour Congress - all support Bill C-15. All of these voices work under Canadian systems whether as an incorporated lobby group, non-government organization, or as members of a primarily non-native government or political party or as legal society members upholding mainstream law. Where is the Indian voice? Mainstream reporting of the Wet’suwet’en, Secwépemc blockades, 1492 Landback Lane in Haudenosaunee Territory or the Mi’kmaq fishing crisis, was not able to distinguish that different First Nations have different agreements. In Wet’suwet’en and Secwépemc Territories there are no treaties but there are Aboriginal Title and Rights issues of representation that Canada does not want to acknowledge. In Mi’kmaq territory, Canada does not want to have its own federal department of fisheries follow through on its own Supreme Court decision to protect Mi’kmaq fishermen. Canada knows that various original treaties predate the existence of their state. Canada’s solution is to ignore these agreements and force all First Nations and other Indigenous groups into one pan-Indigenous approach where Canada narrowly defines their rights. Canada continues to bully First Nations into settling for fourth level types of ethnic local governments.

The speaking voice matters. Metis, Inuit or non-historic treaty holders cannot speak for Treaty First Nations. To this end, mainstream media, non First Nations and our own people are failing to critically look at the voice that is speaking and who they represent. The AFN is merely a lobby group. There is no such thing as a chief or leader of fifty-eight different linguistic groups and nine hundred thousand Indians. Perry Bellegarde cannot speak on the collective rights held by each individual First Nation person. MLA’s and MP’s are speaking from within a compromised system where their token offerings are encouraged. “Indigenous” lawyers had better be treaty lawyers from historic treaty nations if they want to speak, and even then, they have to answer to their peers in whiteman made law societies. First Nations who are sovereignty thinkers are questioning Bill C-15. Simply stated, we are nations, we agreed to share the land and resources. We did not and will not agree to Canada defining our rights. It is clear from the Indian Act, the failed talks at the constitutional level, the federal legislation directed at Indians (First Nations) and now at “Indigenous Peoples”, including the federal UNDRIP Bill C-15 that Canada wants to uphold the appearance of reconciliation, not reconciliation itself.

Community Safety
Community members stated that they want to secure our lands from development. This has two parts: protecting 1492 Land Back Lane from development and a moratorium on development that would pause all new development in our territory to ensure that our community has the space and time to address internal governance issues free of encroachment on our lands.
1492 Land Back Lane is extremely concerned that police will use deadly force, seriously injuring or killing a member of our community if they enforce the injunctions in place. We have taken many steps to ensure the safety of people on the ground including keeping open communication with police, appealing the injunction proceedings, and implementing active safety measures at camp.

Oneida’s own Sage Doxtater is a name that CFL fans will soon get to know. This hulking six-footseven New Mexico State University offensive linesman, who weighs a solid 330 pounds, has reason to feel proud and excited about the future as he found out January 20 that he was ranked eighth overall and third at his position in the CFL’s Scouting Bureau second edition of the top 20 projected prospects for the upcoming 2021 CFL draft. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Doxtater hasn’t been able to play football for over a year as New Mexico State Aggies didn’t play this year in the NCAA
New Mexico Aggies offensive lineman Sage Doxtater, who is six-foot-seven and a solid 330 pounds, found himself ranked an impressive eighth and third among offensive linemen in the second edition of the CFL draft top 20 rankings, which is according to the league’s central scouting bureau. Playing for New Mexico, Doxtater wears uniform number 76. PHOTO BY NEW MEXICO STATE UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS WEBSITE
Division 1 season. However, Doxtater should be in action next month as the program is putting together a three-game spring schedule which will be kicking off on February
20. The CFL Scouting Bureau comes out with its official player ranking three times a year starting in the fall and again in winter and finally a third
edition in the spring. This Bureau who comes out with the rankings consists of experienced CFL scouts, general managers from the league’s squads and player personnel.
Doxtater, who is in his senior year studying sociology, played his high school football at Canada Prep Academy. There he had the privilege of learning from coach Geoff McArthur, who has quite the proven playing resume including being a former NFL wide receiver and Cal Hall of Famer. During his senior year Doxtater battled lingering injuries only making four games with three being starts. Still, he was a big asset in helping the offence which averaged 217.6 passing yards and 143.5 rushing yards per game. Make no mistake, it’s only a matter of time before this New Mexico State University offensive lineman makes his mark in the CFL.

Montreal Canadiens goalie Carey Price showed why he is affectionately known as Mr. Saturday Night. Price made 23 saves at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena on Saturday night in what was a 5-2 win against the Canucks, giving him 350 career wins. His best save came halfway through the second, when he showcased his athleticism by sliding across the crease and robbing Canucks forward Jake Virtanen for one of his many highlight reel type saves. Price, who was drafted fifth overall by
Montreal in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft made his NHL debut two years later when in October 2007, he made 26 saves in earning his first NHL career win which came in a 3-2 win against the Pittsburgh Penguins. “It hasn’t really hit me yet,” Price said after that first win. “It’s pretty exciting.” Heading into the season Price was the 23rd winningest NHL goalie of all time five behind former Canadiens goalie and Hockey Hall of Famer Rogie Vachon. For 21 on the all-time list. This abbreviated 56 game season has seen the Ulkatcho First Nations veteran goaltender get off to a respectable 2-0-0-2 record with a 3.14 G.A.A.

Buffalo Sabres defenceman Brandon Montour played a big factor in helping his Sabres earn their first win of the young season. After starting the 56game abbreviated 2021 NHL season with consecutive losses, the Sabres managed to grab some much-needed momentum as Montour had five shots on goal and registered a big assist in what was a crucial 6-1 road win against the Philadelphia Flyers. Coming off loses against the Washington Capitals, Buffalo managed 37 shots against Philadelphia in a game which saw the smooth skating Montour register two hit and three blocked shots while taking a two-minute penalty and logging 18:40 of ice time. No doubt the Sabres were feeling relief after registering that first win. Heading towards February, the Sabres have now played six games and have a 2-3-1 record, while Montour has a -5 plus/ minus rating along with four penalty minutes and 15 shots on goal in those six games played.

Former Maple Leafs captain George Armstrong dies NEIL BECKER
neil@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
TORONTO — George Armstrong, who captained the Toronto Maple Leafs to four Stanley Cups in the '60s and wore the blue and white his entire career, has died. He was 90. The Maple Leafs confirmed the death Sunday on Twitter. Armstrong played a record 1,188 games with 296 goals and 417 assists over 21 seasons for the Leafs, including 13 seasons as team captain. The right-winger added another 26 goals and 34 assists in 110 playoff games. Known as the Chief, Armstrong was one of the first players of Indigenous descent to play professional hockey. Armstrong was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1975. Some 41 years later, Armstrong was voted No. 12 on the franchise's list of 100 greatest Maple Leafs in its centennial season. ``George is part of the very fabric of the Toronto Maple Leaf organization and will be deeply missed,'' Maple Leafs president Brendan Shanahan said in a statement. ``A proud yet humble man, he loved being a Maple Leaf but never sought the spotlight even though no player played more games for Toronto or captained the team longer. Always one to celebrate his teammates rather than himself, George couldn't even bring himself to deliver his speech the day he was immortalized on Legends Row.'' A young Armstrong met Syl Apps when the Maple Leafs star came to his bantam team's annual banquet. Armstrong would go on to wear No. 10, the first Leaf to do so after the retirement of talismanic Cup-winning captain Apps. Armstrong would also become one of a select number of Leafs honoured with a banner at Scotiabank Arena and his number was officially retired in October 2016 at the team's centennial anniversary home opener. In 2015, Armstrong and
Apps were added to the Leafs' Legends Row. The Leafs released a statement on Sunday with the words from Armstrong's unread speech that night. ``Hockey is a great game and I love it. I am part of a fading generation that you will never have again. Every one of us is one of a kind, that will never be repeated. To all of my friends and acquaintances, thank you for your advice and direction, that helped make me who I am today ? a very, very happy person.'' An hour and a half before Sunday night's Maple Leafs-Flames game, where the Leafs won 3-2, Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe shared a video of Armstrong and discussed his impact on the organization with his players. ``Leaf Nation is as strong as it is because of the efforts of people like George and in particular that era when they were winning the Stanley Cups. Generations only fans were bred through through those efforts,'' Keefe said. ``We feel the efforts of people like George and the efforts they put forth in that era. We feel that every day with the Leafs and grateful for that.'' Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews also spoke highly of Armstrong. ``George was an incredible ambassador for the City of Toronto,'' Matthews said. ``He paved the way for guys like us that are obviously trying to accomplish something big here.'' NHL commissioner Gary Bettman also paid tribute Sunday to the former Leafs' captain. ``The National Hockey League family is saddened to learn of the passing of George Armstrong,'' Bettman said in a statement. ``For 70 years, he represented his beloved Maple Leafs and the entire NHL with class and distinction as a player, coach, executive and ambassador. ``A humble man and revered leader, Armstrong captained the Leafs for 12 seasons _ including to three straight Stanley Cups in 1962, 1963 and 1964 and the stunning 1967 title _ and scored the
final goal of the Original Six Era in Game Six of the '67 Final. ``Our game will miss him dearly. The NHL extends its deepest sympathies to George's wife Betty, their children, grandchildren and the entire Armstrong family.'' After hanging up his skates in 1971, Armstrong coached the Toronto Marlboros to Memorial Cup victories in 1972-73 and 1974-75 before accepting a scouting position with the Quebec Nordiques in 1978. He spent nine years with Quebec before returning to the Toronto fold as assistant general manager and scout in 1988. Armstrong served as interim coach for the final 47 games of the 1988-89 season after John Brophy was fired after an 11-20-2 start. The next year, Armstrong returned to his role as a scout for the Leafs. Armstrong scored 20 goals four times during his career but was better known for his leadership and work ethic, helping restore the franchise's winning touch. A smart player and talented backchecker, he worked the angles to get the best shot at his opponent and formed a formidable penalty-killing tandem with Dave Keon. A humble man, Armstrong was quick to deflect praise. He credited his players for his Memorial Cup wins as coach. ``It wasn't because I was a great coach, it was because I had some great players,'' he said in a 1989 interview, listing off the likes of the Howe brothers, John Tonelli, Mark Napier and Mike Palmateer. And he offered a typical response when inducted into the Leaside Sports Hall of Fame in 2015. ``I don't know whether I deserve it or not but I sure am happy to get it,'' said Armstrong, who lived in several areas of the city before making Leaside his Toronto home. Born in Bowland's Bay, Ont., to an Irish father and an Iroquois mother, a young Armstrong honed his hockey skills in Falconbridge near the Sudbury nickel mines where his father worked.
The Boston Bruins were interested but Armstrong waited until the Leafs put him on their protected list while he was playing with the Copper Cliff Jr. Redmen of the NOHA in 1946-47. After winning the Eddie Powers Memorial Trophy as the OHA's leading scorer with Stratford next season, the Leafs sent him to their main junior affiliate, the Toronto Marlboros. He was elevated to the senior Marlies for the 1949 Allan Cup playoffs and helped the team win the title over Calgary the next year. It was during the Allan Cup tournament, specifically a visit to the Stoney Indian Reserve in Alberta, that he got his nickname. When the band heard of Armstrong's ancestral background, they made him an honorary member with the name ``Chief Shoot-the-Puck'' and presented him with a ceremonial headdress. It was a different era and ``The Chief'' nickname stuck. Armstrong, who was proud of his mother's
heritage, would become the first player of Indigenous descent to score in the NHL. He spent most of two seasons in Pittsburgh with the Leafs' American Hockey League farm team before making the big league. He made his NHL debut in December 1949 and became a full-time member of the Leafs in time for the start of the 1952-53 season. ``It looks as if he's going to be here for quite a long time the way he handled that puck,'' legendary broadcaster Foster Hewitt said after Armstrong scored his first NHL goal in a 3-2 win over Montreal. Taking a pass from future Hall of Famer Max Bentley, Armstrong beat defenceman Butch Bouchard and beat goaltender Gerry McNeil. ``I did a little war dance that night and I think everybody in Maple Leaf Gardens was pretty happy about it as well,'' Armstrong recalled 15 years later. Toronto owner and
GM Conn Smythe named Armstrong his captain before the 1957-58 season. Smythe would later call Armstrong ``the best captain, as a captain, the Leafs have ever had.'' The Leafs won the Stanley Cup in 1962, the first of three straight championships. Armstrong was 36 when the veteran Leafs won the franchise's last championship in 1967. His insurance empty-net goal with 47 seconds remaining in the clinching 3-1 Game 6 win proved to be the final goal of the Original Six era. The six-foot-one, 204-pounder played a few more seasons, but suffered a knee injury during the 1969-70 campaign that forced him to retire. Armstrong was convinced to come back for the 197071 season before quitting for good at age 40. At the time, Armstrong had played more seasons and more games as a Maple Leaf than any other player, and was second in career points.

Military to support vaccination efforts in northern Ontario reserves CANADIAN PRESS

TWO ROW TIMES
TORONTO — The Canadian military is set to help with COVID-19 vaccine distribution in Indigenous communities in northern Ontario. Federal Public Safety Minister Bill Blair says on Twitter the Canadian Armed Forces will support vaccine efforts in 32 communities of the Nishnawbe Aski Nation. The move comes after a request from the province for assistance in getting vaccines to First Nation communities. The Canadian military has already helped with vaccines in the community of Nain in Newfoundland
and Labrador. Ontario is reporting 2,417 new cases of COVID-19 today and 50 more deaths related to the virus. Health Minister Christine Elliott says there are 785 new cases in Toronto, 404 in Peel Region, 215 in York Region and 121 in Niagara. Over 48,900 tests have been completed in Ontario over the past 24 hours. The province is reporting that 4,427 doses of a COVID-19 vaccine were administered since the province's last report, and 1,436 are hospitalized with the virus. A total of 280,573 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in Ontario so far. Since the pandemic began, there have been
255,002 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Ontario. Of those, 225,046 have recovered and 5,803 people have died. The numbers are slightly up from Saturday's 2,359 cases, though deaths declined by two from previous figures. Officials say a male teen who worked in a long-term care home is among the three deaths reported on the Middlesex-London region's COVID-19 case site in southwestern Ontario on Saturday. A spokesman for the Middlesex-London Health Unit says they can't provide the exact age or any other details about him, but added he is the youngest person with COVID-19 in the county to have died from the virus.

The sheer strength of her heart kept her with her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, sisters, brothers, family and friends, to share her love and comfort. Pat was best known for her love of baking, “Auntie Pat’s pies”, cookies and donuts. She shared her recipes and taught many, but her legendary baking can’t be matched.

She was incredibly generous and kind and was an avid volunteer in her community. Her joy and laughter was infectious with everyone she encountered.
