60th IPA Canada Anniversary Luncheon and Presidents' Changing of the Guard
Region 2 held a special lunch on October 23 in celebration of the Anniversary. During the luncheon held in North Bay ON, our National President, and past president of R2, Lou Agostinho was the guest of honour. A presentation to Lou on behalf of your Region was made by David Lowe, current Pres of R2. A total of 16 members travelled to Casey's Restaurant, and witnessed the transfer of the National IPA Flag, from past Pres. Chris Barratt to the new Natl Pres. Lou Agostinho.
We wish both new Presidents success in their new roles, and look forward to the future of our Canadian Section under their guidance.

Algonquin Woodland Aboriginal Peoples' Tribal Council
Homeless Support Program
Information submitted by Bob Lowe, of Region 2.
My name is Bob Lowe and my Indigenous name is Nazhike Ma’iingan (Lone Wolf) and I am Metis.
I have been Chief of the Algonquin Woodland Aboriginal People’s Tribal Council for over 12 years. Our group is made up of Off Reserve First Nation, Metis and Inuit One of the programs that we do which we are very proud of is our Homeless and Needy Programs, which we do in the cold weather and winter months. We are not government funded, so we collect donated winter clothing such as winter coats, hats, gloves, socks, sweaters, track pants, boots. Socks and gloves are a big item so when needed they are purchased with money from our dues,
Someone will go out with me on the streets of Barrie and surrounding areas with a loaded SUV with the above items and sandwiches, coffee, hot soup, cookies, chocolate bars and whatever else we might have on hand.
The reason we mainly stay on the streets is because some people cannot make it to the soup kitchens because they are disabled or ill.
Our group has received recognition and excellent support from the Mayor of Barrie, Barrie Police and Emergency Services.
Miigwetch (Thank You)
