01
Community advocacy and a dated water project
A January 2025 joint release marks groundbreaking for Zhiibaahaasing’s water-treatment plant and distribution upgrades. Band manager BobbiSue Kells-Riberdy and water operator Jonathan Riberdy describe years of community advocacy. The release records the project’s intended benefits and the work still ahead. It does not establish completion or the community’s present drinking-water conditions.
Rick Garrick reports a March 2026 speaker-series gathering at the Zhiibaahaasing Complex with Martina Osawamick of Wiikwemkoong and Leroy Bennett of Sagamok. Their attributed reflections emphasize learning across generations and relationships within and beyond a community. This is a route into a public event report, not a set of ceremonial instructions or a claim that every member shares one interpretation.
