M’CHIGEENG – A new era in policing Manitoulin Island’s First Nation UCCMM communities began last Wednesday, February 19 with a sunrise ceremony and pipe ceremony to welcome new Chief of Police Faron Whiteye. The UCCM Police Service is celebrating its 25th year of working closely with the six First Nations communities it serves and the ceremony at the Ojibwe Cultural Foundation in M’Chigeeng was well represented by elders, community leaders and members of the police service who welcomed Chief Whiteye and offered advice.
The official swearing in ceremony began at 11 am at M’Chigeeng’s Community Complex with Pat Mahdabee acting as master of ceremonies.
An honour song was performed by Ngwaaganak MMAK Drum Group (Lakeview School) and Elizabeth Laford offered an opening prayer. Police Commission Chair Peter Nahwegabho provided welcoming remarks on behalf of the Commission. He thanked Mr. Mahdabee, a former chief and retired Grand Council Chief of the Union of Ontario Indians. He thanked the youth for their song and “all the people who put this together—Irene, Taylor, Evelyn, all the administrative staff and the officers who are all here, and I want to acknowledge the help of the community members who are here.” He then welcomed Chief Whiteye “from the heart” saying, “the commission extends its welcome for your gift in accepting our request to become our new leader.”
