FORT WILLIAM FIRST NATION — Fort William First Nation voters will cast their ballots for the next chief and council in two weeks.
Two women — Michele Solomon and Georjann Morriseau — are vying to replace former chief Peter Collins, who stepped down last year.This interview was lightly edited for brevity and clarity.Michele Solomon: I decided to accept the nomination for Chief because I felt like it was really the most natural next step for me having been in the position of council member for Fort William First Nation for the last eight years.
Solomon: Certainly dogs at large has been a long standing issue. It's an issue that came to the table in the last term. It's an issue that we were not able to resolve and that mainly being that it's one thing to impose bylaws, but it's another thing to have all the other mechanisms in place that support the bylaws. So having a shelter to place dogs and things like that.
Solomon: Fort William First Nation has always been interested in economic development ventures. And I think that's where the community dialogue really needs to happen is for the community to have some input into what types of economic ventures do they see as a priority for us. Economic ventures that you provide employment that any member could attain employment in is what's most important.
