Accepting Applications for Ad Hoc Committee Members
RHT Collective Fund Steering Committee
10-month Term – January – October 2025
5 Seats Available (Please see seat information below)
The Robinson Huron Treaty (RHT) Past Annuities Settlement resulted in approximately $618 million to Nipissing First Nation (NFN). It was decided, by way of a vote, that 25% of that amount ($155 million approximately) would be allocated to a collective fund. This fund is intended to benefit both current and future debendaagziwaad.
Based on the feedback received throughout the community consultation process and research presented, Council has decided to develop a restricted fund to hold the collective funds. In addition, they have decided that an ad hoc steering committee be formed to support the development of the restricted fund.
Find information on past community consultations and proposed investment options for the collective fund on the NFN Membership Portal at portal.nfn.ca , under the blue notice banners:
