Indigenous police services in northern Ontario will receive funding for another 12 months after facing potential shutdown

The Federal Court has ordered Public Safety Canada to extend funding to three Indigenous police services for 12 months after a lack of funding threatened to shut them down.

Anishinabek Nation, Grand Council Treaty Three and the United Chiefs and Councils of Mnidoo Mnising all declared a state of emergency for communities affected by the impasse in negotiations. IPCO has said this essentially prevents First Nation police services from owning infrastructure and recouping expenses related to legal advice in negotiating the FNIPP.

Gascon also noted in his decision that he found it “fundamentally incorrect and somewhat troubling” for Ottawa to label the restrictions for police services contained in the terms and conditions of the FNIPP as ‘constraints.’
