The Chiefs of Ontario are hosting an Ontario Final Agreement (OFA) Southern Gathering from November 4-5 in Toronto, ON for southern First Nations to attend.
This gathering will be used for First Nations to work on their Multi-Year Plans, and First Nation Investment Infrastructure Plans, and to collaborate with their affiliated Agency on the Child and Community Wellbeing Plans and Agency Investment Infrastructure Plan. This gathering will provide a unique opportunity for First Nations and Agencies to work together, address questions in real time, and advance planning activities collaboratively.
We strongly encourage your affiliated Agency to attend and participate alongside your First Nation. Their involvement is critical to the development of Child and Community Well-Being Plans and Investment Infrastructure Plans, as well as to ensuring a coordinated approach to implementing the Ontario Final Agreement.
Please note that accommodations are not included, and guests are responsible for reserving and paying for their own rooms.
