Tony Clement Announces First Nation Deal

The Federal Government says a Northwestern Ontario First Nation will join a Simcoe County reserve to begin the process of opting out of some land-related sections of the Indian Act.
Treasury Board President Tony Clement says the move will give the
First Nations greater control over their reserve land and resources.
Chief Paul Gladu of the Bingwi Neyaashi Anishinaabek (or Sand Lake) in Greenstone says his First Nation is pleased to be a new
signatory to the agreement.
Gladu says it will assist the First Nation in establishing and nurturing partnerships with industry, governments and municipalities.
