Education Department Covid-19 Notice

Aanii,

On May 19th, we received confirmation that all schools will remain closed for the remainder of the school year. This includes First Nation schools. As of recently, each school had developed Learning Packages for the students who do not have access to data/wifii Thus, I have been working with the principals and teachers from each of the 5 schools to ensure that our students are getting their homework from their respective schools. In addition, most of the students have received their devices that they were using at school and have been provided with ‘hotspot’ wifii until their work had been completed.

And, if parents/guardians are not able to pick up packages, as long as it is safe to do so, I will pick them up. That includes dropping off completed work. On another note, the teachers and E.A.’s are available to students if they have difficulty with their work. Please contact the principal or vice principal to make that connection.

Lastly, I received a notification today from the high school that June 18th is the last day to submit all Learning Packages and the Online learning assignments are due June 19th.

These are challenging times, I commend the students and parents from the community who are working hard to ensure that the schoolwork is done and handed in.

If you need any help or require anything related to your educational needs, please contact me. 705-346-0800.

Respectively,

Carol Stevens

MFN Quarry

For many years Magnetawan First Nation (MFN) has contemplated a potential quarry site within the reserve boundary, to the extent that a small test quarry was developed in the early 2000’s. The test quarry site was initiated based on information provided and established by a preliminary evaluation report for the development of a rock quarry on Magnetawan First Nation. More recently, the focus for a quarry on reserve lands was targeted at a site just west of the existing test quarry adjacent to Hwy 645. This Quarry provides granular material for general construction type  “A” and “B2”. Type “A” is ¾” crushed stone that contains fine granular granite, and type “B” is 2”+/- in size. The operational process for this site prepared each type of material, at June 2019, the remaining volumes are estimated at 60,000 metric tonnes.

This Quarry has supplied local housing projects, and road maintenance. As well as providing material to Construction Projects such as Hwy 529 Power Tel and Others.

There is an estimated volume of 4 million tonnes of aggregate in the identified extractable area.

The next phase of the project is to implement an operational management plan to continue providing aggregate to the community and local area.
