New Grand Council Chief of the Anishinabek Nation Patrick Madahbee poses with incumbent Deputy Grand Council Chief Glen Hare after both were chosen to lead the Anishinabek Nation in a traditional leadership selection ceremony in Aamjiwnaang First Nation (near Sarnia) June 9th/09 .  

The Anishinabek/Ontario Fisheries Resource Centre is proud to have Patrick (Chair of the A/OFRC) take the helm of the Anishinabek Nation.  He has served our organization with great honor and pride. We will miss his leadership and wish him well in his new role as Grand Council Chief.

Madahbee has been involved in First Nation political organizations for over 30 years, including the office of Grand Council Chief of the Anishinabek Nation. As former Chief of Aundeck-Omni-Kaning, Patrick continues to look to the future of First Nations peoples.

Patrick has a strong interest in bringing economic opportunities to his nation and also involved in the Wabano fish culture operation on Manitoulin Island.  In the past he has served as Manager of Aboriginal Banking Services at Toronto Dominion Bank.

Congratulations Patrick!

Anishinabek/Ontario Resource Management Council Survey Questionnaire

Note: This AORMC survey is strictly for Anishinabek members of the Union of Ontario Indians First Nation communities and is not an A/OFRC survey. Our organization is assisting the AORMC by hosting the survey on our website.  .

The goal of the Anishinabek/Ontario Resource Management Council (AORMC) is to improve communication, dialogue, and relations between the Anishinabek Nation, and its 42 member First Nations, and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR). 

Your views are important as we move forward in updating our approach to enhancing fisheries based career opportunities, promoting economic development and ensuring a healthy fishery for future generations. To this purpose we have developed a survey that should take less than 10 minutes to complete. Complete survey here

* By completing this questionnaire you will be eligible for a draw for prizes including a weekend fishing trip and an iPod Touch.
