TRUSTEES SIGN SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
The Robinson Huron Treaty Litigation Fund Trustees met on January 3, 2024, and signed the Settlement Agreement.
For more details watch the attached clip or see the Community Update for January 2024 on the RHTLF website and social media pages.
Community engagement sessions for the RHTLF First Nations are underway.
Contact your community administration or leadership to determine when your community's engagement sessions will be.
Your First Nation can only consider your perspective or feedback if you participate.
Folks, we theoretically have 31K followers on this here hellsite, but the engagement we once enjoyed is today mere vapours. Maybe it's us? Anyway, as an experiment, if you can read this, can you please 'like' it? Thanks in advance.
The Governments of Canada and Ontario have completed their internal approval processes regarding the Settlement Agreement. This means that we are moving forward with getting signatures from all parties on the Settlement Agreement.
What comes next? 👇👇👇
