Support for HJBCOA

WHEREAS the Hudson James Bay Cree Outfitters Association (HJBCOA) has been working with camp owners to build a strong tourism industry for the Mushkegowuk communities,

AND WHEREAS the HJBCOA have been working hard towards rebuilding the association after three years of mismanagement by former staff and a historical legacy of the provincial agencies being overly involved in making key decisions affecting the camps and local communities,

AND WHEREAS the HJBCOA have demonstrated their commitment to building a close working relationship with the Mushkegowuk communities ( through a community based board structure),

AND WHEREAS the province is not providing adequate funding for HJBCOA,
