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.
