                                       NOTICES:

ATTENTION MORTGAGE HOLDERS: It has come to our attention that many insurance
companies will ONLY notify the MOHAWKS OF THE BAY OF QUINTE if your existing
house insurance policy has been cancelled however will NOT when the policy has been
renewed. This creates a problem when incentives, rewrites and renovations are
requested. You will not qualify if your house insurance policy on file is not up to date.
In order to ensure your policy is current, we ask that you mail, fax or deliver renewal
form when received.

   COVID-19 & VACCINE INFO: If you would like to be tested for COVID-19 please

              December 2017 Election Appeal

              Following the December 2017 election, five appeals were filed to the Minister of
              Indigenous Services Canada. In January 2021, we received notice that although
              there were violations of the Indian Band Election Regulations, the elected officials
              mandate had expired rendering it impossible to set aside the election of
              December 9, 2017.

              The Tyendinaga Mohawk Council has requested this information be put in the
              monthly newsletter. Included in this newsletter is:

                   •    letter to then Minister Seamus O'Regan and a Mohawk Council Resolution
                        dated August 2019

                   •    Canada's January 2021 letter and Order in Council 2020-913

                   •    letter to Minister Marc Miller dated April 2021

Chief R. Donald Maracle
Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte
24 Meadow Drive
TYENDINAGA MOHAWK TERRITORY ON K0K 1X0
Dear Chief Maracle:
Thank you for your correspondence of February 26, 2021, regarding your concerns with school eligibility requirements
for the Federal Indian Day Schools Settlement Agreement.
Following the receipt of your correspondence, the Department undertook additional research into the issues that you
raised, and I can confirm that a Federal Day School known as Deseronto was in operation at Tyendinaga as of September
1, 1955. This school was then renamed Quinte Mohawk, and was included on the List of Eligible Schools (Schedule K) as
of September 1, 1960.

Counsel for Gowling is correct that the List of Eligible Schools (Schedule K) is closed. The Parties agreed to close Schedule
K to ensure that individuals who were impacted by the Settlement Agreement would be aware of their legal rights and
options should they choose not to participate in the settlement. Individuals that attended a school not listed on
Schedule K have not lost any legal rights to proceed with a claim against Canada for any harms suffered at a federally-
operated day school.
That said, the terms of the Settlement Agreement allow the Exceptions Committee to refer claims deemed ineligible for
compensation by reason of the named school not appearing on Schedule K, and/or claims that appear to involve a day
school during a time outside of the dates listed on Schedule K to the parties for determination and resolution, if
appropriate and in a manner consistent with the Federal Indian Day Schools Settlement Agreement.
Canada has made the parties aware of this omission and raised this issue with the Exceptions Committee. Canada is
committed to ensuring that former students of Federal Indian Day Schools receive the compensation for the harms that
they suffered as a result of their attendance at that they are owed as soon as possible. I have asked Ms. Krista
Robertson, Acting Director, Childhood Claims Litigation, to follow up with you as soon as the Exceptions Committee
makes a determination.
Regarding students that were sent from the Tyendinaga Territory to provincially-operated schools off-reserve, the
Federal Indian Day Schools Settlement Agreement is a settlement of a certified class action on behalf of all persons, and
their families, who attended an Indian Day School that was established, controlled, and managed by Canada from
January 1, 1920, until the date of closure or transfer.
Tyendinaga Public School is not located on the list of eligible schools because it was a provincial school for which the
federal government reimbursed the local school board for First Nations students in attendance. Mission schools, joint
schools, provincial schools and Band-operated schools are not considered Federal Indian Day Schools under the terms of
this class action, as Canada was not responsible for the administration of these schools. As such, former students from
these schools are not eligible for compensation under the Federal Indian Day Schools Settlement Agreement.
I would like to thank you for bringing these issues to our attention. Please be assured that Canada remains committed to
advancing reconciliation, and supporting the healing and commemoration of those affected by the harmful policies of
the past.
Sincerely,

The Honourable Carolyn Bennett, M.D., P.C., M.P

Protect Yourself from Tick Bites and Lyme Disease
Learn How to Reduce Your Risk of Tick-Borne Illnesses During
Warmer Seasons
May 21, 2021
Ministry of Health

TORONTO        As the weather is getting warmer, the Government of Ontario is reminding
everyone to take the necessary precautions when spending time outdoors to prevent tick bites
and reduce the risk of Lyme disease.
Lyme disease is a potentially serious infection that comes from being bitten by an infected
blacklegged tick. Infected ticks can be found almost anywhere in Ontario, particularly in wooded
areas or areas with tall grasses and bushes, including city gardens and parks.
                                         e, we want to ensure Ontarians know how to protect
themselves from Lyme disease and other tick-

result, more Ontarians are at a greater risk of getting a tick bite. By taking simple precautions, you

When spending time outdoors, you can protect yourself from tick bites by:
     Wearing light-c
     Wearing long-sleeved shirts, long pants tucked into your socks, and closed-toed shoes.
     Using an insect repellent with DEET or icaridin in it, which is effective and safe when
     applied as directed on the label.
     Staying on marked trails.
     Checking yourself, your children, and your pets after being outdoors and removing any
     ticks promptly, and washing your clothes after an outdoor activity.

the spring and summer months, they can also be found during the fall when temperatures are still
above freezing. I encourage everyone to follow these simple steps year-round to protect yourself

Blacklegged ticks are small and hard to see. If you find ticks on your body, remove them
immediately with tweezers and clean the area with soap and water. If you have any symptoms or
health concerns after a tick bite, consult a health care provider as soon as possible. If caught
early, most cases of Lyme disease can be treated successfully with antibiotics.
While outdoor activities can help improve physical fitness and mental wellness, they are not risk-
free and COVID-19 transmission can occur as a result of outdoor gatherings. It remains critical
that Ontarians continue following public health measures to reduce transmission of the virus,
protect hospital and public health capacity, and save lives.
Quick Facts
        Infected blacklegged ticks can be found almost anywhere in the province, and there have
        been over 2,000 cases of Lyme disease in Ontario since 2019.
        Early symptoms may include fever, headache, muscle and joint pain, fatigue and an
        expanding rash.
        If left untreated, Lyme disease can make you feel tired and weak. In severe cases, it can
        affect your heart, nerves, liver and joints, and, in very rare cases, cause death.
        While ticks are most active in spring and summer, they can be found during any time of the
        year when the temperature is above freezing.
        In consultation with the Chief Medical Officer of Health, the Ontario government has
        extended the Stay-at-Home Order until at least June 2, 2021.
        Effective May 22, 2021 at 12:01 a.m. the province will reopen outdoor recreational
        amenities with restrictions in place, such as maintaining physical distancing. Outdoor limits
        for social gatherings and organized public events will be expanded to five people, including
        with members of different households.
