On June 30, Federal Court Justice Denis Gascon ordered Public Safety Canada to extend funding for 12 months
Anishinabek Nation Grand Council Chief Reg Niganobe says he’s relieved following a Federal Court ruling late last month regarding funding agreements for three Indigenous police services.
“While this is welcomed news, we continue to look forward to a time when First Nation police services are deemed essential by the government. We have always had peacemakers who were members of our society. First Nation policing services are vital to the safety of our communities and they need to be recognized and funded appropriately,” Grand Council Chief Reg Niganobe stated in a news release.

“We are here to support the efforts of First Nation police services and their ability to safely and adequately carry out their operations. We stand with Anishinabek Nation communities in their plight for equitable funding and insist that Canada must meet these fundamental basic rights to safeguard our citizens,” adds Lake Huron Regional Deputy Grand Council Chief Travis Boissoneau.
