Notice of Ontario Chiefs Forum on Health - December 20, 2006
This is an official Notice to all First Nations in Ontario that the Chiefs Forum on Health will be held at the Delta Chelsea Hotel in Toronto, Ontario on Wednesday, February 28th and Thursday, March 1st, 2007 to commence at 8:30 a.m. each day.
The Chiefs Forum on Health will be formally constituted as a Special Chiefs Assembly (SCA), to permit the passage of binding Resolutions, but only in relation to the health topics discussed at the Chiefs Forum on Health.
The normal Chiefs Assembly Rules of Procedure will apply, with one important modification mandated by Resolution 06/103 (“Quorum for Chiefs in Assembly Gatherings”) passed at the Garden River SCA on November 16, 2006. According to Resolution 06/103, all Chiefs of Ontario Assemblies require “sixty percent (60%) of all membership to be present in order to make decisions on behalf of the region”. The new 60% quorum is required for decision-making by way of Resolution, but is not required for general discussion.
Because of the importance of the Chiefs Forum on Health and the effect of the new quorum rule, all First Nation Chiefs (or Proxies) are respectfully urged to attend in Toronto on February 28 and March 1, 2007.
Further Information will be forthcoming in the New Year.
Lori Jacobs, Executive Director
