The Georgina Island Storytelling Project

Our stories celebrate our heritage and identity as Chippewa people. They preserve and teach our Indigenous ways of knowing and knowledge for the future generations of Georgina Island. In the tradition of oral history over generations, our youth - in their turn - will carry on this legacy to protect and share our proud history and who we are as the Chippewas of Georgina Island.

Georgina Island First Nation has partnered with Cambium Inc. and Crane Management to develop a Community Energy Plan.  The Plan will involve calculating the current energy use on the island and identify the future needs of the community.  We will be reviewing all the various types of energy used in the community including, electricity, propane, heating oil and wood.  To be able to identify the energy used in the community, we are conduction door-to-door surveys to gather simple but valuable information.  The household survey should only take a minute to complete and your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
