"We are reaching a critical stage in both the development of our community as well as the development of the Ring of Fire" stated Chief Wabasse.

"It is a balancing act between dealing with historical issues and planning for future opportunities, however, I do look forward with working with both levels of government and industry on a progressive agenda." Wabasse added.
