LandBack Lane is facing serious allegations of a gang rape, the spread of STDs, illicit drug use and wanted men hiding out. What has been long whispered about behind closed doors on Six Nations has been brought to light online after an ally went viral on social media for launching sexual assault allegations against highly visible Land Back Lane spokesperson Skyler Williams. The year-and-half-yearold land rights reclamation on McKenzie Road in Caledonia has been rocked by serious and disturbing sexual assault allegations after a TikTok user named Charlie Cruise came forward last week, alleging Williams was a sexual predator who used his position as spokesperson for LandBack Lane to coerce them into a polygamous encounter. Following Cruise’s viral videos, an indige-
nous podcast Red Truth, White Lies from Credible Mohawk Entertainment (CME) broke additional accusations from people across several provinces, claiming Williams has exhibited a pattern of similar behaviour at other land reclamation sites — using his position as a land defender and spokesperson for LandBack Lane to coerce people into sexual relationships. CME aired a recorded phone call from Jan. 2 between host Nick LaMarsh with Williams on YouTube asking him about the allegations. Williams did not deny the claims during the conversation, “As much as I want to defend myself, I don’t want to take away from anybody’s experience…”, he said. When LaMarsh pressed him about the allegations, Williams asked, “Is there allegations?” LaMarsh explained there have been stories about abuse from at least four different people “saying the same thing.” Williams did not answer the question, instead
asking, “Is there a question in there? My focus is on my kids.” Williams avoided directly speaking to any of the allegations he is facing and again deflected, saying his family is going through “more hardship than they need. My apologies to anybody that I’ve hurt over the course of the last year.” Williams said it’s been a “trying year” for his family. LaMarsh stunned Williams into silence when he asked him how he would feel if one of his daughters was being sexually abused. LaMarsh then told him he was asking the question from a “place of love” to which Williams laughed and said, “Go f*ck yourself.” The allegations against Williams and additional allegations about Williams conduct — including a culture of toxic masculinity at LandBack Lane, came to light after Cruise posted a video accusing Williams of attempting to coerce them into a sexual encounter with himself and his female partner. Sources told the Two Row Times there are rum-
blings of an alleged gang rape at LandBack Lane in December and that some of the people who regularly attend LandBack Lane had to be tested for sexually transmitted diseases. Cruise went on record with the Two Row Times about their allegations, saying: “I have in writing as of 2 days ago Skyler admitting there is more than just me to apologize to on his end.” A post on Instagram from Credible Mohawk Entertainment shows a screenshot of a text/post, with a profile photo of Williams, stating: “I own every bit. And am owning that to my nation and clan. But more importantly, am doing that with my girls.” To what he was owning was not specified. Two Row Times contacted Williams on Tuesday for an opportunity to directly address the allegations. He would not respond to phone calls. Williams denied any sexual abuse allegations. “I have never sexually assaulted anyone at LandBack Lane or anywhere else for that matter,” he
wrote via text. “I’ve only come by the rape allegations by way of Nick (LaMarsh), as well. I tried to find the person or people involved but nobody has shared anything or how to connect with anyone involved.” After Williams launched into an f-word peppered phone conversation with the Two Row Times last July, Williams apologized to the paper. “I apologize if you’ve ever felt intimidated by me. I’ve never purposely threatened or intimidated anybody. I’ve taken every concern brought to me seriously and have spent untold hours with folks trying to sort out what’s going on day-to-day on site. I definitely have remorse for anybody that has ever felt done wrong or suffered in any kinda way because of any of my actions.” Williams has not been formally charged with any sexual crimes. “All charges I’m dealing with are solely for land defence. The past 18 months

decision about who will be speaking on the behalf of 1492 LandBack Lane.” Meanwhile, Cruise, who has been criticized for speaking out, bullied on social media by people who do not believe the accusations of Williams, and accused of embezzling funds raised for Indige-

nous causes, said there was always an atmosphere of intimidation at LandBack Lane. They said since the beginning of their first visit at Land Back Lane, they did not feel safe there. “I chose not to stay over night at LBL due to rumours that force had been used on an ally,” said Cruise. “There were no names put to this rumour, I simply have been raped in my past and do not put myself in positions where I may have to use self defense. I will state I did not feel welcome or comfortable on any of my visits to LandBack Lane. The energy was very.. male dominant and not a place I felt safe. To my current knowledge there are more victims than I can count, and these are not just victims of Skyler.” Cruise continued, “The importance of bringing public awareness to these issues is many of these abusers feel immune. Immune to scrutiny, immune to consequences, and immune to accountability. There is also a massive presence of institutionalized ego among (particularly men) who gain attention from perceived fame and the assumption
that power comes with that.” Two Row Times wrote an editorial in November about a Six Nations man wanted for domestic abuse against his partner, a Haudenosaunee woman who wanted to remain anonymous to protect her children. The woman presented the public with video evidence of him shoving her beside the family van in their driveway as she tried to secure their infant in a car seat last fall. Shortly after the shoving incident, she says her partner was picked up by Williams and has been hiding out at LandBack Lane ever since. No one has asked the man to leave or held him to account despite being wanted for domestic assault. The Haudenosaunee woman has since brought the matter to the attention of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council. Two Row Times contacted clanmother Laurie Froman for information regarding the matter but did not hear back by press time. Ontario Provincial Police refuse to step foot onto the property, where tiny homes have now been
built, with permanent residents living there. The atmosphere at Land Back Lane, according to sources, has been likened to a “cult.” Andrew Brant, of CME, says Williams has been using his “infamy” as the spokesperson at LandBack Lane to approach women and persuade them into sleeping with him. CME said they reached out to multiple sources to get to the bottom of the situation and spent many hours researching the issue before going public with the podcast. At one shocking moment in the podcast, LaMarsh said he visited LandBack Lane and found a woman crying. He asked her what was wrong and she told him, point blank, she was gang-raped there. LaMarsh said he mentioned it to a few people at the LandBack Lane site and said they got angry, told him to keep his “mouth shut” and to “mind your own f*cking business. So I did. This happened last year.” LaMarsh said he is concerned the mainstream media, once it catches wind of the accusations, will now take the revelations and “plaster it all
over” painting the movement and Onkwehonwe people in a bad light. “These are the actions of one person,” he said. “I’m heartbroken about this.” He was concerned there was going to be racist backlash against Indigenous people from settlers. CME repeatedly said the broadcast was not about the LandBack Lane movement itself. “There’s these women that he’s hurt,” said Brant. “Imagine how they feel. But it has nothing to do with the movement.” CME called on Williams to be better and for the community to stop protecting abusers. They also said Williams does not belong on the front lines. LaMarsh said he did not feel safe at LandBack Lane after he was verbally attacked for mentioning the gang rape. LaMarsh said people aware of the accusations and those making the claims themselves haven’t spoken out against Williams for fear of reprisal, both from other women in the community protecting him and the men that protect him, as well.

Six Nations records third-highest single-day Covid case count DONNA DURIC
donna@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
Six Nations health care workers are exhausted, while the community recorded a near-record surge in Covid cases over the past week. On Dec. 28, Six Nations of the Grand River recorded 25 new Covid infections, with 68 active cases in the community. It’s the third-highest single-day positive case count in the community. The highest case count on record was during the community’s devastating third wave in February 2021, with 36 cases identified on Feb. 25. The case count comes as the Gane Yohs health services building and the vaccination clinic at the Dajoh Youth and Elders Centre had to be shut down due to potential Covid exposures over the holidays. Six Nations also currently has the second-highest positive case rate in the province (adjusted for population), with an estimated 531 cases per 100,000 people. Toronto currently ranks first with 533 cases per 100,000 people. Lori Davis-Hill, director of Six Nations Health, says her staff is exhausted. “Our resources are stretched pretty thin right now and we are seeking more help from ISC (Indigenous Services Canada) to help support our surge in cases,” said Davis-Hill. “The staff here have not been able to take a break and these surges are very difficult to manage, physically, mentally and emotionally.” Davis-Hill has urged people to stop gathering in groups at this time. “Public Health feels we are only going to see higher numbers in the coming days unless people take it upon themselves to stop gathering at this time.” In the United States, positive case counts have hit record highs due to the Omicron variant, which Davis-Hill says has not
yet been identified on Six Nations. In the meantime, Six Nations Bingo decided to cease operations until further notice due to this most recent surge in Covid cases. “Businesses are able to
make their own decisions about closures,” said Davis-Hill. Meanwhile, meetings are underway to determine if Six Nations schools will be re-opened to in-person learning next week, she said.
Six Nations of the Grand River did not respond to questions regarding upgrading the community’s current Covid alert level in light of the recent spike in cases. The community is still in alert level orange (high) with gatherings
restricted to 10 people indoors and 25 outdoors. The next alert level is red (very high) and black (maximum), where only essential activities are advised and gatherings are limited to those only in one’s immediate house-
hold. The Covid vaccine clinic will re-open on Jan. 4, 2022 at Dajoh Youth and Elders Centre. Anyone with questions can contact Ohsweken Public Health at 519-4452672.

to COVID exposures at both settings. Six Nations Bingo also announced yesterday that it ceased both in-person and online sessions for the time being due to a recent surge in local COVID cases. There will be no classes on MCFN Jan. 3 or Jan. 4 as staff and students set up and prepare iPads for remote learning. Families and students are advised to pick up learning supplies at Lloyd S. King Elementary School on Jan. 5, with the request that families remain in their vehicles and anyone retrieving supplies wear a mask while inside the school. Teachers and students will review their online schedules together on Jan. 6 (next Thursday) and there will be no classes on Fri. Jan. 7, as students are being asked to become familiar with navigating their remote learning system in preparation for the first full week of lessons the following Monday.

Six Nations Director of Federal Schools Travis Anderson released a letter to the community on Thursday evening, confirming that Six Nations schools would be moving to online learning effective Monday, January 3 through to February 14. “Should conditions improve prior to February 14, 2022 and students can return to school in cohorts/ in-person learning safely, we will give you advance notice,” wrote Anderson. The Six Nations traditional longhouse community heads into ceremonies for Midwinter traditions in late January, early February. This is the most widely attended portion of the Gaiwiyo longhouse traditional calendar. Students on Six Nations have a week long break from classes each year to attend the ceremonies. This year that break
occurs from February 7-11. No word from ceremonial leadership on whether or not the Midwinter ceremonies will be held in light of the spiking COVID case count on Six Nations along with the Omicron variant surging across the province. Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation has already decided to suspend in-person learning next week, announcing the decision in a press release today (Thursday). “After careful consideration, chief and council have elected to amend the in-person return on Jan. 3, 2022 to operational services only, with a reassessment taking place by Feb. 7,” Lloyd S. King Elementary Principal James Medway said in a press release today.

Ottawa announces $40 billion Indigenous child welfare settlement By Canadian Press Ottawa has officially announced it has reached agreements in principle with First Nations partners to compensate children harmed by its underfunding of child welfare. Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Marc Miller says at $40 billion, the settlement marks the largest in Canadian history. Of the billions earmarked to be spent on the matter, $20 billion will pay for compensation and the other $20 billion will be spent on reforming the system over five years. It says First Nations children living on reserve and in the Yukon who were removed from their homes between April 1, 1991, and March 31, 2022, are set to
be compensated, along with their parents and caregivers. Ottawa says this includes those affected by what it calls the government's narrow definition of Jordan's Principle between Dec. 12, 2007, and Nov. 2, 2017, as well children who were unable to access an essential public service or product from April 1, 1991, to Dec. 11, 2007. Jordan's Principle is a measure stipulating that jurisdictional disputes should not get in the way of providing services to First Nations children. The government says final settlement agreements must still be negotiated over the coming months. It says money will flow once these agreements are reached and the necessary court and
human rights orders have been made. The compensation talks had been chaired by former senator and chairman of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, Murray Sinclair. Assembly of First Nations Regional Chief Cindy Woodhouse was among those at the negotiating table, and says more than 200,000 children and their families will be affected by this settlement, which stems from government discrimination. ``This wasn't and isn't about parenting. It's in fact about poverty,'' she told a news conference in Ottawa. ``And First Nations children being removed from their families and communities instead of being provided help with food, clothing or shelter.''

The cost of inaction for youth 'aging out' of Ontario foster care is estimated at $2 billion By Linda Mussell and Marsha Rampersaud Last spring, the Ontario government committed to redesigning the child welfare system to better prepare youth leaving state guardianship. As we head towards a provincial election in June 2022, few details of the proposed redesign are available. We urge voters to pay attention to action or inaction on this issue — not only for ethical reasons but for monetary reasons too. We undertook cost-analysis and interview research to help guide policy debate. In a new report, we estimate the costs of inaction on this issue and provide youth-informed recommendations. For youth under state guardianship the state has assumed the role of the parent. But state parenting falls short of how most people would treat their children. This includes cutting support when youth turn 18. Aging out There are approximately 11,700 children and youth under state guardianship in Ontario. Black and Indigenous children are highly represented, with Indigenous children comprising 30 per cent of kids under Ontario guardianship alone. Each year, around 1,000 youth ``age out'' of the system. For many, the transition is difficult, creating lifelong adverse outcomes including low educational attainment and income, unstable housing and homeless-
ness, worse physical and mental health and criminalization. Drawing on the work of Melanie Doucet, a social work scholar and former youth under state guardianship, we use the term ``aging out'' to mean youth who are turning 18 and will lose access to certain services and supports. We use quotation marks to denormalize the term. Sector redesign In March 2021, the province committed to redesigning child welfare, releasing its plan in July 2020. In February 2021, a moratorium was placed on ``aging out'' of guardianship until Sept. 30, 2022, so that youth can continue to receive supports and services after they turn 18 during the pandemic. No other changes for youth ``aging out'' have been made. Youth who ``age out'' by the end of September will face significant challenges. In the words of Cheyanne Ratnam, the co-founder and executive director of the Ontario Children's Advancement Coalition, and a former youth under state guardianship, ``Child welfare is the largest pipeline into other violent systems, such as homelessness, prison and poverty.'' Report findings Our report, launched at a session held by Ontario's Office of the Children's Lawyer on Dec. 8, 2021, explains the situation in Ontario. It applies the approach of economist Marvin Shaffer and colleagues, which
estimated the costs of youth ``aging out'' in British Columbia. We estimate that in Ontario the cost of inaction totals more than $2 billion. The figures we present draw on the limited data available, and we believe the numbers are likely much higher. We draw on Statistics Canada data, peer-reviewed academic research and data released by non-profits to produce these figures. Much of this report was shaped by the voices and experiences of youth who ``aged out'' and youth in transition workers. One youth, Jesse, says: ``From the time you're 17 to 21, that's the most fragile time you should be involved with youth ? I can bet you $10 million if my life was aided a little more from 17 to 21, I can guarantee you I'd probably be in college right now, I probably wouldn't have a (criminal) record.?'' Five hundred and sixty youth who ``age out'' each year don't finish high school, experience lost earnings over their lifetime and become trapped in precarious work options. We found that each youth who ``ages out'' of state guardianship stands to lose between $705,000 to $1,880,000 in earnings over their lifetime. Based on the combined total of taxable lost earnings of youth leaving state guardianship over their lifetimes, the province stands to lose approximately $118 million to $315.8 million in tax revenue. The majority of youth

``age out'' to poverty. Five hundred and seventy youth ``aging out'' each year rely on income supports — the lifetime cost to the province is around $235 million. Five hundred and eighty youth ``aging out'' each year will experience homelessness. Over their lifetimes, they may cost the province approximately $629.8 million in emergency shelter. During the report launch we heard from frontline workers who can offer little more than a tent to some youth leaving the system amidst the housing crisis. Approximately 460 youth in state guardianship experience criminalization. Provincial imprisonment of these young people costs the province approximately $19.6 million to $36 million annually; and over their lifetimes, that number could be nearly $1 billion. These are just some of the areas the province may incur costs, the total estimated costs based on the adverse outcomes youth leaving state guardianship face in their lifetimes is more than $2 billion. Recommendations Our report presents 18 recommendations provided by youth who ``aged out,'' youth-in-transition workers, people who used to be under state guardianship and people who work in the sector. Future youth-led data collection is needed to inform policy change, as there is little available in Canada. One key recommen-
dation is to rethink the norm of independence at 18. From interviews with youth, all describe profound isolation, loneliness and few caring relationships underpinning the challenges they face. We must shift to a model of interdependence — fostering non-professional caring relationships for youth under state guardianship that extend long after 18. One youth, Riyad, says: ``Half the time I felt like nobody loved me, you know? I think people are just telling me they love me and they care about me but I don't think they do, you know, because if they did, why am I in an emergency shelter?''

In addition, youth need continued financial support and services, and increased monthly funding adjusted for cost of living. The youth we heard from are unable to maintain housing and get post-secondary education due to financial hardship, lack of interpersonal support and trauma. Change is needed earlier for families, reinvesting some of the $2 billion Ontario is spending could keep more families together. It will cost less to reinvest early on, and it will help disrupt this trend of hardship for generations of youth to come.

B.C. marks two years since passing law to adopt UNDRIP CANADIAN PRESS

TWO ROW TIMES
VANCOUVER — British Columbia recently marked two years since passing legislation that requires the province to align its laws with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, though an Indigenous leader and legal expertsay many First Nations are still wondering how and when the commitments will be realized. ``There's been incremental, positive movements, but certainly not the tectonic shift, if you will, that many First Nations were expecting,'' said Terry Teegee, regional chief of the B.C. Assembly of First Nations, which represents more than 200 communities. They're looking for ``substantial changes'' in provincial law, policy and practice that would overhaul how decisions are made in their territories, he said in an interview. The UN declaration requires governments to obtain free, prior and informed consent before taking actions that affect Indigenous Peoples and their lands. The B.C. government's legislation stipulates that alignment of the province's laws must happen``in consultation and co-operation'' with Indigenous Peoples. The draft implementation plan outlines proposed actions for the next five years, organized into four themes: the right of self-government; Indigenousrights and title or jurisdiction over their territories; ending racism and discrimination against Indigenous Peoples; and ensuring their social, economic and cultural well-being. Murray Rankin, the minister of Indigenous relations and reconciliation, said he was in the process of reviewing the final plan. The COVID-19 pandemic, wildfires and severe flooding hampered discussions with First Nations, he said in an interview, but there had been ``enormous ... co-development'' on the draft released last June. However, Teegee said the declaration isn't being adopted consistently across the province's 20 ministries and progressso far hasn't been the product of true
partnership and collaboration with Indigenous Peoples. The government has a responsibility to change its structure and culture to reflect that it has committed to Indigenous Peoples to make decisions together, he said. ``We're beyond consultation, we're on the road towards consent.''
The creation of a dedicated secretariat to co-ordinate B.C.'s reconciliation efforts and ensure consistency with the declaration holds some promise, Teegee noted. Rankin said the depth and scope of consultation required by the declaration has been a ``sea change'' for many ministries. Some are doing better than others, he said, but the commitment
is real and implementation should improve over time. ``It's transformational. It's so significant, the work that's underway on the declaration,'' he said. ``I think we're going to have to make progress, in some cases gradually, in some cases immediately, in order to do justice to those commitments.'' There was a ``lengthy en-
gagement process on co-development'' for the draft plan, said Merle Alexander, a Vancouver-based lawyer who serves as general counsel to the B.C. Assembly of First Nations and represents numerous others. Ultimately, though, the plan didn't reflect some of the key input from Indigenous Peoples, including specific statutes it could
focus on changing to align with the declaration, said Alexander, who is a member of the Kitasoo/Xai'xais First Nation. ``Our vision for the plan was for it to embody some dramatic legal reform, whereas I think the province's perspective was really to take a much more conservative, incremental approach.''
Notice of Study Completion

Paris Master Servicing Plan Update Addendum Class Environmental Assessment What is this Study All About? Through the Paris Master Servicing Plan Update (MSPU), initiated in 2018 and finalized in 2020, a water system needs analysis was completed to identify water infrastructure required to accommodate full buildout of the County of Brant’s (the County) Paris Settlement Area. The MSPU identified the need for additional storage to support future growth within Zone 3. The County undertook this study as an addendum to the MSPU to confirm the size and preferred location of the Zone 3 elevated tank, with the intent of strengthening overall capacity and resiliency of the Zone 3 system and supporting the needs of existing and future users. The timing of the elevated tank implementation was accelerated in order to accommodate increased fire flow needs for the south Paris employment lands. Completed Master Servicing Plan Update Addendum The Paris MSPU Addendum was completed in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process to fulfill Schedule ‘B’ project requirements. The Class EA process included public and review agency consultation, evaluation of alternatives, an impact assessment of recommended alternatives, and identification of measures to mitigate potential adverse effects.

Abby Roque, first Indigenous woman to play for Olympic Team USA By TRT Staff MINNESOTA — The 202122 U.S. Women's National Team has been centralized in Blaine, Minnestoa and USA Hockey announced last Saturday that their final roster for the women’s hockey team that will compete at the 2022 Winter Olympics in February, features Abby Roque as one of 23 players. Roque, of Wahnapitae First Nation, is the first Indigenous woman to play for the U.S. national team in the Olympics. The 24-year-old is a first-time Olympian, joining seven others on the roster making their first trip to the Olympic Games as well.
Roque made her debut with the U.S. Women’s National Hockey Team in December of 2019 and previously made the roster that took on the 2021 International Ice Hockey Federation Women’s World Championship back in August in Calgary, Alberta, as part of the the U.S. Women’s National Team again.

Two years ago, she was named USA Hockey’s Bob Allen Women’s Player of the Year in 2020.

There have been many firsts for Brigette Lacquette in the sport of hockey. She is the first Indigenous woman to scout for an NHL team, remembering that she began playing at the age of four with the help of her father. Her father, Terance, is Métis, from the O-Chi-Chak-KoSipi First Nation, and her mother, Anita, is from Cote First Nation in Kamsack, Sask.. And it was just three years ago that Lacquette became the first First Nations woman to play hockey for Canada in a Winter Olympics in 2018 and a household name in the hockey sphere. The 29-year-old Anishnaabe from Mallard, Man., also played in three world championships, winning two silver and a bronze medal over six years on

the national women's team. Lacquette was still awaiting word at that time on whether she'd be invited to try out for the 2022 Olympic team, but when she didn’t Mae the centralization roster,

she opted to find more about the opportunity. This led her to providing her hockey knowledge and ability to scout in the teams full vetting process, and showcased that she is the candidate. The issues and airs
that surround the Blackhawks logo also brought Lacquette to study its background to help in her decision to work as a proscout. The defender now joins a small group of female NHL scouts alongside Cammi Granato (Seattle Kraken), Blake Bolden (Los Angeles Kings) and Meghan Hunter (Blackhawks). Lacquette compared job notes via direct messages with Bolden, who became the first Black female NHL scout in 2020. Lacquette still plays for the Professional Women's Hockey Players' Association (PWHPA). She scouted the Canadian junior men's selection camp and played for the PWHPA against the Canadian women at the same arena one December weekend in Calgary.
Rogers Hometown Hockey postponed for the safety of the Six Nations community By TRT Staff
SIX NATONS — On Friday, December 31, 2021, the Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council (SNGR) announced that due to the rising Covid-19 cases in the province of Ontario, the rogers Hometown Hockey Tournament will be postponed until a safer date is determined. Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council has regretfully made the decision to postpone the Rogers Hometown Hockey event at Six Nations to a later date. The SNGR noted in the release that the first priority of the council is the health and safety of Six Nations. The rising COVID-19 cases across the province and concerns surrounding the spread of the Omicron variant present great difficulties in planning a festival event for the community, while restrictions currently were announced to sit at half capacity or 1,000 spectators for large sporting events across the province. “Both the Six Nations

team and the team at Rogers and Sportsnet are committed to providing the full Hometown Hockey experience to Six Nations, and we look forward to doing so when it’s safe,” reads the press release provided by the SNGR. “We will continue to provide updates on Rogers Hometown Hockey as they become available. In the meantime we encourage everyone to continue
practicing public health measures in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19.” The Hometown Hockey website explains that since 2014, Rogers Hometown Hockey has been a celebration of hockey and community that has visited over 130 towns across Canada. The festival takes the “magic of the NHL” to communities across Canada with a 2-day
weekend event paired with a live NHL broadcast on Sportsnet from said community. The tour adds that Covid-19 restrictions are strictly implemented according to governmental restrictions when an event takes place: “We have enhanced our protocols to adhere to, and exceed, health and safety guidelines including proof of full vaccination, mandatory face-masks, sanitization stations, limited event capacity with physical distancing, contact tracing, and mandatory Health Check Questionnaire.” As part of a new changes announced by Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health on December 30, the government changed restrictions of capacity at large venues to the lower part of either 50 per cent or 1,000 people. The change came into effect the following day and affects spectator areas of facilities used for sports and recreational fitness activities, concert venues and theatres.

In Memoriam
HILL: Donna Cheryl
In Memoriam Montour, Joe
It is with deep sorrow and much love that we announce the passing of Donna Hill in her 75th year on 1st January 2022 after a short, tough battle with cancer. During her treatment she was continuously surrounded and supported by her loving family. She passed peacefully in the presence of her true love Chris, and clan-mother Crystal. Donna leaves behind her beloved partner of 35 years, Chris Buck and loving daughters, Melissa (Donny) Melendy, Yvette St. Germaine, and Terry (Ron) Hill and her grandchildren, Matthew and Sarah Hill and Caitlin and Dean St. Germaine; they were the joys of her life. She is survived by brothers Kenny (Kim), Steve, Gordon (Beverly), Victor (Melissa) and sisters Janet and Doreen (Yanos). Pre-deceased by her mother Rovina Hill, father Irvin Hill, brothers John-Michael and Jerry Hill and sister Sharon Martinelli (Angelo). She will be missed by many nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family. She will also be extra specially missed by her forever furry feline friend Goldi-cat. Donna was born in Ohsweken, Ontario on April 11, 1946. She moved to Buffalo, New York, and finally settled in Fort Erie Ontario with her family. She was a homemaker until her girls became older, working various jobs until she retired from a satisfying position as chef at the Aboriginal Head Start facility in Fort Erie. She enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, taking drives for fresh fruits and vegetables with Chris, and occasionally casting a line in the mighty Niagara River. A private family service will be held Wednesday, January 5, 2022 with burial to follow at Stump Hall Cemetery. A celebration of life will be held at a date in the future when Covid restrictions ease.
