Town's official position to comments made by Mayor Garry Michi

The Town has become aware that there is an audio clip that appears to be from Mayor Michi that is being circulated on the internet. Mayor Michi’s comments do not reflect the Town’s position on the matter.

The Town would like to remind people that the specific comments of individual members of council or staff do not reflect those of the municipality.

We know and sympathize that First Nations communities across Canada struggle with access to clean drinking water which is a basic human necessity. The Town supports federal efforts to fund capital projects that ensure all First Nations People across Canada have access to safe drinking water.

The Town of South Bruce Peninsula would like to apologize to the community of the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation and to all First Nations communities across our nation.
