The Mayor of Dryden believes the Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls doesn’t go far enough.
Greg Wilson says the reason the Commission is struggling, again, is because far away distant governments do poorly when it comes to engaging with local people in meaningful ways.
Wilson says the result of fractured engagement and involvement in the decision making process leads to frustration, disengagement and cynicism with those involved.
Wilson is urging more meetings with First Nations leadership and Residential School survivors, especially in northwestern Ontario.
He notes the government has to find a way to get down to the exact roots of the problems impacting First Nations. (File Photo)
