FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CHIEFS OF ONTARIO TO HONOUR FORMER ONTARIO REGIONAL CHIEFS AT GALA DINNER
Toronto (Nov 10, 2014) – Ontario Regional Chief Stan Beardy is proud to announce that on November 26 chiefs, cabinet ministers, industry and corporate partners, family and friends will honour seven outstanding leaders who served as Ontario Regional Chief over the past 40 years.
“It is in our tradition in our culture to honour people who have done great things for our communities and these leaders broke barriers, opened doors and led the charge for First Nation citizens in Ontario,” Regional Chief Beardy said. “It will be an honour to recognize these leaders for their dedication after all these years and I hope people will come out to recognize their contributions and pay them respect.”
That evening we will be celebrating former Ontario Regional Chiefs: the late Peter Tobasonakwut Kelly, Patrick Madahbee, Wally McKay, Gordon Peters, Tom Bressette, Charles Fox and Angus Toulouse.
