I wish them strength, clarity and unity as they take on the important work ahead on behalf of our community.” The new Chief and Council will be sworn in on Dec. 14 at 9 a.m. at the MCFN community centre.

It is well deserved and we know you will do what’s in the best interest of our nation in unity with the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation people. Miigwech to our people who voted me in.
