ERA and their long lasting donors Shell Canada team up again to donate 20 laptops to Aamjiwnaang First Nation. The Aamjiwnaang First Nation (formally known as Chippewas of Sarnia) is a First Nations community of about 2300 Chippewa (Ojibwe) Aboriginal peoples (850 of which live on Reserve). They are located on the St. Clair River, 3 miles south of the southern tip of Lake Huron in the city limits of Sarnia southwestern Ontario, Canada – just across the United States border from Port Huron, Michigan. Their heritage language is Ojibwa. The name Aamjiwnaang, (pronounced am-JIN-nun) means “at the spawning stream.”
This donation will go towards the Employment and Training Department. They will share these devices through the department and with their Ontario works department. This department supplies services such as Career Assessments, Counselling, Referral Services, Job Search Supports, Job Board, Labour Market Info and Job Coaching to their clients.
