It's the beginnings of change for the Mississaugas

It's the beginnings of change for the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation, said outgoing chief Bryan LaForme, with more women elected to council than men. Chief R. Stacey LaForme will now lead the nation. It was the highest turnout on record, with 518 votes cast. “This new council will re-energize the Mississaugas of the New Credit. We will work in unity with administration and our membership to benefit our First Nation today and for future generations,” said the new chief. The council thanked Bryan LaForm for his “unwavering commitment to the MNCFN membership,” reads a press statement.
