UOI OFFICES  (Nipissing FN) May 25, 2016 –   Anishinabek Nation Grand Council Chief Madahbee says that he is pleased with Ontario First Nation Health Action Plan announcement of $221 million investment over three years, but says that he will be looking for more details of the plan in the next coming weeks.

“We will need to see more details in the implementation and how exactly this action plan will affect all First Nations,” says Grand Council Chief Madahbee.  “Of course these are positive first steps in addressing key areas of need in health, focused on the North, with some needed funding to all First Nations in the province.  We look forward to working together with the province to continue to address health needs in First Nations across Ontario.”
